Block access to sensors on specific sites
Supported versions
- On Windows and macOS since 86 or later
Description
Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that can't access sensors such as motion and light sensors.
If you don't configure this policy, the global default value from the DefaultSensorsSetting policy (if set) or the user's personal configuration is used for all sites.
For URL patterns that don't match this policy, the following order of precedence is used: The SensorsAllowedForUrls policy (if there is a match), the DefaultSensorsSetting policy (if set), or the user's personal settings.
The URL patterns defined in this policy can't conflict with those configured in the SensorsAllowedForUrls policy. You can't allow and block a URL.
For detailed information about valid URL patterns, please see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322.
