Multiple configuration profiles for extensions

[userjamf]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if it's possible to have a configuration profile for each of my Chrome extensions when deploying them on the same target?

I currently use a single configuration profile for all my extensions, because when I tried to create several configuration profiles and applied them to my target, only one of them applied.

Current configuration :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>ExtensionSettings</key>

<dict>

<key>eljmjmgjkbmpmfljlmklcfineebidmlo</key>

<dict>

<key>installation_mode</key>

<string>normal_installed</string>

<key>update_url</key>

<string>https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx</string>

<key>toolbar_pin</key>

<string>force_pinned</string>

</dict>

You can deploy multiple custom payloads for the Single Preferences with multiple keys. For example, with Chrome, you can deploy multiple Plist files, each with a different key. One Plist file could be for the Homepage, another for Accessibility, and so on.

However, you can’t deploy a single key with multiple Plist files. Hence, you can’t create multiple payloads for each extension. All extensions have only one key: Extensions.
