Choose Enabled Right Click Tools by Policy

You can use policy settings to customize the Right Click Tools actions that are visible and available via the Browser Extension. Once configured, your Right Click Tools menus will reflect only the RCT actions that are supported and relevant in your environment.

Minimum Right Click Tools version: 5.13.2610

Choose Actions to Enable

To customize the available actions:

1. Right-click on the Recast icon in your browser toolbar and select Policy Builder from the drop-down.

On the Policy Builder page that opens, set the  ServerUri and EnabledActionIds in the Registry key for the browser you're using: 

  • Chrome - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\gfbiiepahoibecndlolalkhkcpfdddjk\policy
  • Edge - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\hdlmknneafgigmdleldiicnkgkcgdlfl\policy

2. Enable the desired actions for your policy.

3. Click Generate ID List to compile a list of Tool IDs for the selected actions.

4. Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the list for use in policy configuration.

Configure the Policy

Use your organization’s method to deploy the generated ID list to managed endpoints. You can use Microsoft Intune, Group Policy, Configuration Manager, scripts, or other deployment tools. Once applied, Right Click Tools will automatically recognize and enforce the policy.

Refresh Browser Policies

To refresh policies for your browser: 

1. Open edge://policy or chrome://policy.

2. Click Reload Policies to refresh the applied settings.

Check Policy Application

To check that the policy is applied:

1. Open the Browser Extension's Right Click Tools Configuration window by clicking on the Recast icon in your browser toolbar followed by the Configure button.

2. Confirm that the policy-managed configuration appears.

When policy management is active, users see a message similar to the following:
