To function in SAP GUI environments, WalkMe components must be trusted and permitted by your organization's endpoint security policies. Choose one of the two validation methods below and complete it with your IT or security team.
Option 1: Application allowlisting
Allow the following WalkMe applications within your endpoint protection and security tools:
ExtensionManager.exe
WalkMeMenu.exe
Common security platforms include: Microsoft Defender, Windows Defender AppLocker, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, VMware Carbon Black, Symantec Endpoint Protection, and McAfee Endpoint Security.
Option 2: WalkMe certificate configuration
Alternatively, configure your endpoint security solution to trust applications signed by the official WalkMe code-signing certificate. This approach is commonly supported by enterprise security and application control platforms.
Common security platforms include: Microsoft Defender / WDAC, Windows Defender AppLocker, and VMware Carbon Black.
