Setting up the Browser Extension using Intune [BETA]

Before you start

You’ll need:

• Admin access to Intune

• From Ploy:

  • The extension ID

    dffeldhekjdfdiodpemkejanlcjljbah

• The extension update URL

  • https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.eu.west-2.amazonaws.com/extension/update-manifest.xml

• Your Ploy tenant subdomain

  • This is the part before employee-access.com in your Employee Access Portal URL

  • Example: https://business.ploy.app → subdomain is business

• At least one test device enrolled in your MDM

Extension set-up

Step 1 – Create a Chrome configuration profile

• In the Intune admin center, go to Devices → Configuration profiles

• Select Create profile

• Choose:

  • Platform: Windows 10 and later

  • Profile type: Settings catalog

• Click Create

Step 2 – Force install the extension

• Add a setting under Google Chrome → Extensions

• Choose Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions

• Add:

  • dffeldhekjdfdiodpemkejanlcjljbah;https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/extension/update-manifest.xml

This installs the extension automatically and keeps it up to date.

Step 3 – Pin the extension to the browser toolbar

• Under Google Chrome → Extensions, add Configure extension management settings

• Set the value to:

{ 
"dffeldhekjdfdiodpemkejanlcjljbah": {
"installation_mode": "force_installed", 
"update_url": "https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/extension/update-manifest.xml",
"toolbar_pin": "force_pinned" 
} 
}

This keeps the Ploy extension visible in the Chrome toolbar.

Step 4 – Connect the extension to your Ploy account

• In Intune, add a policy for the Ploy Chrome extension.

• Set your Ploy subdomain:

  Copy code

  <your-ploy-subdomain> 

• Deploy the policy.

  Once this is applied, the extension connects to your Ploy account automatically.

Step 5 – Assign & deploy

• Assign the profile to users (recommended) or devices

  • We recommend testing this with a small group first before rolling it out more widely.

• Save the profile

Changes usually apply within the hour.

Step 6 – Check everything’s working

On a test device:

1. Quit the browser completely then re-open

2. Go to your extensions

3. Confirm the Ploy extension is:

   • Installed

   • Pinned to the toolbar

   • Not removable

   

Step 7 – Rolling out to more users

Once you’re happy with testing, you can expand the rollout by:

• Expanding the assignment to include more users or devices

• Assigning the profile to additional user groups or device groups

• Removing or loosening any targeting you used for testing
