This article explains how to configure Microsoft Edge policy settings for Windows 10 using Microsoft Intune.

Note

This article applies to Microsoft Edge version 77 or later.

You can configure Microsoft Edge policies and settings by adding a device configuration profile to Microsoft Intune. Using Intune to manage and enforce policies is equivalent to using Active Directory Group Policy or configuring local Group Policy Object (GPO) settings on user devices.

For more information about managing Microsoft Edge policies with Microsoft Intune, you can read Manage web access by using Microsoft Edge with Microsoft Intune, but keep in mind that the linked article is specific to Microsoft Edge version 45 and earlier and therefore may contain information and references that don't apply to Microsoft Edge Enterprise version 77 and later.
