Enable the linked account feature (obsolete)

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge version 133.

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 107, until 133

Description

This policy is obsolete because Microsoft Edge no longer supports the linked account feature.

Microsoft Edge guides a user to the account management page where they can link a Microsoft Account (MSA) to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account.

If you enable or don't configure this policy, linked account information will be shown on a flyout. When the Azure AD profile doesn't have a linked account it will show "Add account".

If you disable this policy, linked accounts will be turned off and no extra information will be shown.

  • Can be mandatory: Yes
  • Can be recommended: No
  • Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes
  • Per Profile: Yes
  • Applies to a profile that is signed in with a Microsoft account: No
