url

Use this policy type if you want to set a policy to a URL.

The difference to the string policy type is an additional validation for URLs. The validation only checks if the value starts with https://, http:// or file://.

Example JSON output

{
  "policies": {
    "AppUpdateURL": "https://example.com"
  }
}
