Add the Collibra platform URL via scripts
The Collibra Browser Extension mass deployment scripts help you to deploy the extension on Chromium-based browsers in your organization.
By specifying the Collibra platform URL in a file named collibra-extension-configuration.json, you can allow your users to immediately begin using the extension upon opening it. This file is placed in the same folder as the manifest of the extension.
- This approach works on both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
- Your users cannot modify the Collibra platform URL that you add via a script.
