Policy CSP - SettingsSync

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

Important

This CSP contains preview policies that are under development and only applicable for Windows Insider Preview builds. These policies are subject to change and may have dependencies on other features or services in preview.

Prevent the "accessibility" group from syncing to and from this PC. This turns off and disables the "accessibility" group on the "Windows backup" settings page in PC settings.

If you enable this policy setting, the "accessibility", group will not be synced.

Use the option "Allow users to turn accessibility syncing on" so that syncing is turned off by default but not disabled.

If you do not set or disable this setting, syncing of the "accessibility" group is on by default and configurable by the user.
