Last month the implementation of macOS policy was on the test plan. I provided testers with a sample configuration profile. This month, i've implemented generation of those profiles in core and ship them with each release.

Follow the public documentation (in vnext) to edit and install a configuration profile bundled with the latest insiders. Confirm that:

• The default .mobileconfig file (+ your policy edits) work as expected when installed on your machine
• The schema files under Contents/Resources/app/policies/<locale> can be used to generate a .mobileconfig via a GUI app like https://imazing.com/profile-editor

I am intentionally being vague here in hopes that the public documentation is sufficient - please provide feedback on the clarity of those docs as well!

Notes

• See this issue for details on additional policy that is not yet documented

Known issues

• Description of policy is incorrect #243131
• Adding policy requires a restart of vs code to apply #244531

Filed #244586, we should tell users how to undo policies. Without that I feel a little uneasy making policy changes to my work machine (maybe only because policy sounds scary)

Very nice to see this working! I wanna try this again when the fix #244531 lands. Great job!
