Client verification

  1. On a Windows device enrolled in Intune, sync the policies:

    • Open Settings → Privacy & security → Diagnostics & optional data
    • Click Diagnostic data
    • Wait for the sync (usually automatic, but you can force it by waiting 15 minutes)

  2. Chrome: Open Chrome and go to chrome://policy → Check that SafeBrowsingAllowlistDomains shows the domains

  3. Edge: Open Edge and go to edge://policy → Look for SmartScreenAllowListDomains

ℹ️ Note: Policy sync can take up to 30 minutes. If you don't see results right away, wait and then force a sync from the Windows client.

Granular assignment

You don't need to assign the policies to ALL devices. You can create specific groups:

  • Assign only to the IT department
  • Assign only to a specific set of testers
  • Assign by project

To assign to a specific group:

  1. From the policy, click Assignments
  2. Click + Edit included groups
  3. Select the target Azure AD group
  4. Click Select → Save

Editing and updating policies

If you add or remove domains in the future:

  1. From the Intune console, open the policy
  2. Click Properties → Settings → Edit
  3. Edit the domains
  4. Click Save
  5. The policy will automatically update on synced clients

Troubleshooting

The policy doesn't appear in chrome://policy:

  • Check that the device is enrolled in Intune (Settings → Privacy → Diagnostics)
  • Force sync and wait 30 minutes
  • Restart the browser
  • If it persists, unenroll and re-enroll the device

Error during assignment:

  • Check that the Azure AD group exists
  • Check that the devices are actually in the group
  • Check Intune licenses

Domains are not recognized:

  • Make sure there are no extra spaces

Note: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE)

⚠️ Warning: If your organization uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE), the Edge SmartScreenAllowListDomains policy will be ignored, even if configured via Intune. Edge whitelisting must be set up through: https://security.microsoft.com → Settings → Endpoints → Indicators → URLs/Domains → add each domain with Action: Allow.
