+# WebView Policies |
+ |
+## Overview |
+ |
+WebView supports a subset of Chrome's policies, that can be set via the |
+[App Restrictions][1] mechanism. They are read on the embedder app itself rather |
+than from a centralized location. That gives administrator more flexibility and |
+granularity, but to apply a global policy, it has to be set separately |
+on each app. |
+ |
+The policies will be applied to WebViews used inside the targeted apps without |
+having to modify the apps themselves. No special WebView APIs have been added |
+to expose policy information. If developers want to change their app's behavior |
+depending on that, they can [read them][2] as they have access to the |
+App Restrictions. |
+ |
+Please see the [Policy List on chromium.org][2] for more information and the |
+list of supported policies. |
