List of the settings in the Microsoft Edge security baseline in Intune

This article is a reference for the settings that are available in the different versions of the Microsoft Edge security baseline that you can deploy with Microsoft Intune. You can use the tabs below to select and view the settings in the current baseline version and a few older versions that might still be in use.

For each setting you’ll find the baselines default configuration, which is also the recommended configuration for that setting provided by the relevant security team. Because products and the security landscape evolve, the recommended defaults in one baseline version might not match the defaults you find in later versions of the same baseline. Different baseline types could also set different defaults.

Although the settings in the Intune UI for this baseline omit Learn more links, this article includes links to relevant content.

When a new version of a baseline becomes available, it replaces the previous version. Profiles instances that you’ve created prior to the availability of a new version:

  • Become read-only. You can continue to use those profiles but can't edit them to change their configuration.
  • Can be updated to the latest version. After you update a profile to the current baseline version, you can edit the profile to modify settings.

To learn more about using security baselines, see Use security baselines. In that article you'll also find information about how to:
