Addon/Extension allow list with group policy

Hello!

I manage our browser configuration for our enterprise. We use group policy to restrict browser addons until they clear our internal security review.

I'm looking for a way to allow specific addons using group policy, while generally blocking everything else.

I've found the setting to enforce the installation of addons, but we'd like to avoid forcing every addon to install on every system as there would be overlap between things like password managers and such.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

This policy:

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings

Allows you to block all addons except ones that you set the "allowed" keyword on.

A user can install those.
