Description

Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that are not subject to the EdgeSidebarAppUrlHostBlockList.

If you don't configure this policy, a user can open any app in sidebar except the urls listed in EdgeSidebarAppUrlHostBlockList.

If you configure this policy, the apps listed in the allow list could be opened in sidebar even if they are listed in the block list.

By default, all apps are allowed. However, if you prohibited apps by policy, you can use the list of allowed apps to change that policy.
