<desc>Enable GNOME Shell extensions for all users.</desc>
</info>
<title>Enable machine-wide extensions</title>
<p>To make extensions available to all users on the system, install them in
the <file>/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions</file> directory. Note that
newly-installed machine-wide extensions are disabled by default. To enable
the extensions for all users, you need to set the
<code>org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions</code> key.</p>
<steps>
<title>Setting the org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions key</title>
<item>
<p>Create a <code>user</code> profile in
<file>/etc/dconf/profile/user</file>:</p>
<listing>
<code>
user-db:user
system-db:local
</code>
</listing>
</item>
<item>
<p>Create a <code>local</code> database for machine-wide settings in
<file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-extensions</file>:</p>
<listing>
<code>
[org/gnome/shell]
# List all extensions that you want to have enabled for all users
enabled-extensions=['<input>myextension1@myname.example.com</input>', '<input>myextension2@myname.example.com</input>']
</code>
</listing>
<p>The <code>enabled-extensions</code> key specifies the enabled
extensions using the extensions’ uuid
(<code>myextension1@myname.example.com</code> and
<code>myextension2@myname.example.com</code>).</p>
