Secutiy zone prompts on Mac version of Edge

Question

We have a couple users on Mac who are using Edge browser to access their M365 email accounts (via Outlook on the Web). Well it works fine for the most part, a couple of the plugins throw up a message when they try and lauch them from the ribbon.

The security settings in your browser prevent us from creating a dialog box. Try a different browser, or configure your browser so that 'APP URL' and the domain shown in your address bar are in the same security zone.

Whilst I understand why this is happening, and MS have a helpful KB link, there is no option on a Mac to update Security zones for a URL (and I can't seem to find an option to replace it in edge://settings. Anyone come across this before, and / or know what can be done to resolve it? 

One current work around is to have users open a new tab and sign into the plugins website, but it's not ideal.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi @Roadstone

It looks like you have the same issue as the doc describe. But the solution adding URL to trusted sites isn't applicable in your situation as MacOS doesn't have security zones settings.

Then I think only the following change can fix the issue:

This issue occurs when the Dialog API is used in pop-up mode. To prevent this issue from occurring, use the displayInFrame flag. This requires that your page support display within an iframe.

It looks like related to the development of office plugin which I'm not familiar with. I think that needs to change the code of the plugin. I suggest that you provide feedback to the plugin owner to see if they can make the plugin compatible with MacOS.
