Support for managing the use of Extensions within Docker Desktop

[Daz-wallace]

Tell us about your request Currently we can manage some settings through the use of an admin-settings.json file as detailed here. I would like to request the ability to extend the settings that can be managed to include enabling or disabling the "Extensions" section of Docker Desktop. If the user manually toggles this setting, it changes the extensionsEnabled key in the ~Library/Group Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json file

Which service(s) is this request for? Docker Desktop

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? We have a need to lock down certain settings within Docker Desktop for our macOS estate. Without having a supported method to manage certain keys and settings (such as this Extensions setting) it makes this difficult to harden the product to meet our needs.

Are you currently working around the issue? No, this is a new request from the business. I have reached out to support who have confirmed that this is not currently possible. I'm not aware if there are networking endpoints we could block to achieve the same outcome in the meantime

Additional context Ideally, this is something that expand beyond the current request for specifically Extension settings to ideally encompass all settings with the users' settings.json file
