This service offering allows faculty and staff the ability to request exemptions from the new Microsoft Edge Browser Policy, which restricts the use of browsers on organization-owned devices. The policy specifies that Microsoft Edge will be the only browser installed on organization owned devices with a configuration policy that limits the use of certain features of the browser like AutoFill and InPrivate mode.
- Requests must be made for individual users; bulk requests for teams or departments are not permitted.
- All requests will require justification that is subject to review by Cybersecurity and will require approval from Cybersecurity and the individual's supervisor.
- Google Chrome and Firefox are the only approved alternate browsers.
- InPrivate mode is the only browser feature exemption available under this policy. For more information on what browser features will be restricted read the Microsoft Edge Configuration Policy knowledge base article. These features will also be restricted in Google Chrome and FireFox browsers.
