# Allow URLs in Chrome on Mac devices

In addition to restricting URLs on the Chrome browser, IT Admins have the option to permit access to specific websites while blocking all others. This approach enables IT Admins to exercise more precise control over users' browsing experiences, ensuring safety by preventing searches for prohibited, harmful, or adult content.

1. Copy the contents below directly and add them to **Apple Configurations** > **Custom Configurations** for Mac, or click [**here**](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/Chrome_URLAllowlist%20for%20macOS.mobileconfig) to download the file and import it.
2. Follow our [**guide**](/docs/custom-configuration-ios-and-macos) on how to add the Custom Payload in the Apple Configurations & deploy it to devices.

3. In this Payload, please change the string placeholders with the URLs that you would like to restrict. For example,

Shell.Shell

```xml
<array>
	<string>github.com</string>
	<string>https://scalefusion.com<string>
	<string>chrome://policy</string>
</array>
```
4. On the device, quit the Chrome application if it was already open and re-launch it. Based on the payload, users will only be able to open the listed websites, and all the other websites will be blocked.

Notes:

1. The Payload and its contents are sourced from various, albeit authenticated, Apple Developer communities and forums.
2. Please validate them on a test machine before deploying them on all your managed devices.
3. Scalefusion has tested these Payloads; however, Scalefusion will not be responsible for any loss of data or system malfunction that may arise due to the incorrect usage of these payloads.
