If your organization uses Microsoft Edge on Windows, you can push specific extensions to devices so every user has the same add-ons without manual installs. Intune’s Settings Catalog includes a policy that silently installs Edge extensions by ID. This guide walks through getting extension IDs from the Edge Add-ons store and configuring that policy in Intune.
Overview
You will:
- Open the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store, find each extension you want to deploy, and copy its ID from the extension’s URL.
- Create an Intune configuration profile (Settings Catalog) for Windows 10 and later.
- Enable Control which extensions are installed silently under Microsoft → Extensions, then add the extension IDs to the list.
- Assign the profile to the users or devices that should receive the extensions.
Extensions deployed this way are installed automatically. For Chrome or other browsers, use the corresponding Intune settings (not covered here).
Step 1: Get Extension IDs from the Edge Add-ons Store
Each Edge extension has a unique ID that Intune uses to install it. You’ll copy these IDs from the extension’s detail page in the Edge Add-ons store.
Open Microsoft Edge and go to https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/Microsoft-Edge-Extensions-Home.
Search for the extension you want to deploy (e.g. Bitwarden, uBlock Origin). Click the extension to open its detail page.
In the address bar, the URL will look like https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/extension-name/XXXXXXXX.... The long string after the last slash is the extension ID. Copy that segment (e.g. jbkfoedolllekgbhcbcoahefnbanhhlh for Bitwarden on Edge).
Repeat for every extension you want to silently install. Keep the IDs for the next step.
Step 2: Create an Intune Configuration Profile
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Devices → Windows → Configuration profiles. Click Create → New policy.
Set Platform to Windows 10 and later and Profile type to Settings catalog. Click Create.
On the Basics tab, enter a Name (e.g. “Edge silently installed extensions”) and optionally a Description. Click Next.
On the Configuration settings tab, click Add settings. Search for Control which extensions are installed silently, expand Microsoft → Extensions, and add that setting. Enable it, then in the table add one row per extension and enter each extension ID. Click Next.
On Scope tags, add tags if your tenant uses them. Click Next.
On Assignments, add the groups (or All Users / All Devices) that should get these extensions. Click Next.
On Review + create, review the summary and click Create. After the profile syncs, Edge on targeted devices will install the listed extensions automatically.
Wrap-up
You can deploy Microsoft Edge extensions with Intune by collecting extension IDs from the Edge Add-ons store, creating a Settings Catalog profile, and enabling Control which extensions are installed silently under Microsoft → Extensions. Assign the profile to the right users or devices to roll out a consistent set of extensions across your organization.
