# Group Policy conflict

> When installing the UiPath extension for Chrome using Group Policy the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#ExtensionInstallForcelist) is updated at the machine level.

## Description

When installing the UiPath extension for Chrome using Group Policy the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#ExtensionInstallForcelist) is updated at the machine level.

This can cause a conflict if the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#ExtensionInstallForcelist) is also defined at the user level or using Chrome Cloud Policies.

Because the machine level has priority, the extensions set at the user/cloud level are uninstalled.

To confirm this, check at `chrome://policy` if this warning is displayed under [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#ExtensionInstallForcelist):

`This policy is working as intended but a conflicting value is set elsewhere and is overridden by this policy.`

## Solution

To solve this conflict follow these steps:

1. Install the UiPath extension for Chrome using the `NativeHostOnly` installation method. This installation method enables communication between the extension and Studio/Robot. It does not make any changes to the Group Policies.

To use this installation method add `CHROME_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnly` to the installation command for [UiPathStudio.msi](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/command-line-parameters). Example: `UiPathStudio.msi ADDLOCAL=DesktopFeature,Studio,Robot,RegisterService,ChromeExtension CHROME_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnly`.
2. In the [ExtensionInstallForceList](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/?policy=ExtensionInstallForcelist) policy, add the value:
   1. For the **Group Policy Online** installation method (that installs the Chrome Web Store extension):

`kmejkhcmhgilmppjodlgaklnmdmmhhcl;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx`
   2. For the **Group Policy Offline** installation method (that installs the self-hosted extension):

`ndmegdjihnhfmljjoaiimbipfhodnbgf;file:///C:/ProgramData/UiPath/UiPath.Common/ChromeExtension_SelfHosted/extension_manifest_chrome.xml`
3. In the **NativeMessagingAllowList** policy, add the value: `com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2`.
