Installing and Configuring the Browser Extension for Microsoft Edge on Windows (SSO)

Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome allow the silent installation of Browser Extensions. This way, the users do not have to manually install the Browser Extension themselves, but rather the IT Admins can roll out the Browser Extension in the background via a MDM solution, such as Microsoft InTune, Enteo NetInstall, or Matrix42 Empirum.

Each browser needs to be set up separately.

Browser Extensions in Edge can be installed and configured through Enterprise Policies. Refer to the official documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensions-policies for more info.


Requirements

  • Userlane Customer Success Manager needs to provide companyID and information on region
  • IT Admin with access to Browser Installation and Policies
  • Userlane Account Admin to set Integrity Token in Userlane Portal
