Unsigned add-ins in PowerPoint must be blocked with no Trust Bar Notification to the user.
Description
Discussion Text
This policy setting controls whether the specified Office application notifies users when unsigned application add-ins are loaded or silently disable such add-ins without notification. This policy setting only applies if the "Require that application add-ins are signed by Trusted Publisher" policy setting is enabled, which prevents users from changing this policy setting.
If this policy setting is enabled, applications automatically disable unsigned add-ins without informing users.
If this policy setting is disabled, if this application is configured to require that all add-ins be signed by a trusted publisher, any unsigned add-ins the application loads will be disabled and the application will display the Trust Bar at the top of the active window. The Trust Bar contains a message that informs users about the unsigned add-in.
If this policy setting is not configured, the disable behavior applies, and in addition, users can configure this requirement themselves in the "Add-ins" category of the Trust Center for the application.
