Verification on macOS client

  1. On a Mac enrolled in Intune, wait for the policy to sync (up to 30 minutes). To force a sync:

    • System Preferences → Profiles → Manually sync if the option is available
    • Or wait for the next automatic sync

  2. Chrome: Open Chrome and go to chrome://policy → Look for SafeBrowsingAllowlistDomains

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

ℹ️ Note: On macOS, syncing may be a bit slower than on Windows. Please wait up to 30 minutes for the policy to be fully applied.

Assigning to groups

Assign the policies to specific Mac groups:

  1. During creation, select Assignments
  2. Add the Azure AD macOS group
  3. Or, later, open the policy → Assignments → Edit

Editing and updating

To 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 Macs

Troubleshooting

The policy does not appear in chrome://policy on Mac:

  • Check that the Mac is enrolled in Intune (System Preferences → Profiles)
  • Wait up to 30 minutes for the initial sync
  • Restart the Mac
  • Check your internet connection

Error during Mac enrollment:

  • Check that the Mac is compatible (macOS 10.14 or higher)
  • Check Azure AD credentials
  • Refer to the Intune documentation for macOS

Policies are not applied even after 30 minutes:

  • Unenroll the Mac from System Preferences
  • Re-enroll manually using Intune Company Portal
  • If the issue persists, check the enrollment logs in the Intune admin center
