Camera and microphone usage is not allowed

Expected results:

Hi,

I'm setting component to Firefox - Site Permissions for someone to take a look at this.

Thanks.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Site Permissions
Ever confirmed: true

Sounds like a request to enterprise policies but to be clear our permission manager doesn't support wildcards so maybe this is a WONTFIX?

Component: Site Permissions → Enterprise Policies

Yeah, all we can do is what the permission manager allows. Although I thought adding a permission for bar.com did allow it for foo.bar.com?

No, that depends on the permission type, but almost none of them allow it.

Per Johann, policy can't do anything that the permission system doesn't.

You'll need to add all subdomains via policy.

Sad to hear that

It would be nice if that could be possible.
For admins it’s no use to add every subdomain to an exception site list.
This would be a nice addition to make Firefox the Go-To Enterprise browser.
