Allow Chrome Enterprise to set Site Permissions on force-installed extensions

Reported by mstew...@getguru.com, Jan 12

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
As an IT Administrator of Chrome Enterprise, I would like to configure an extension to be force-installed for my end users but also set the new Site Permissions for that extension so that my users can only use it on certain sites.

What is the expected behavior?
I would like to force-install an extension and set Site Permissions so that an extension can only be run on a site like https://www.google.com

What went wrong?
Users need to configure the SIte Permissions themselves, which causes confusion and hampers adoption.

Components: Enterprise
As part of the ExtensionSettings policy, you can block and allow individual hosts for an extension using the policy. 

>> Users need to configure the SIte Permissions themselves, which causes confusion and hampers adoption.

Can you elaborate on this? Is your primary goal to prevent users from tampering with an extensions permissions or to ensure that an extension only has access to hosts you like?

FYI, here is the help center article for the ExtensionSettings policy:
https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7532015?hl=en

You could search section
"Prevent users from running apps or extensions based on permissions"
and
"Prevent apps and extensions from altering webpages"
