For administrators who manage ChromeOS devices for a business or school.
As a Chrome Enterprise admin, you can manage policies and settings for Chromebooks and other devices that run ChromeOS from the cloud-based Google Admin console.
Setting device-level policies
On the Device settingspage, you can set policies that apply to anyone who uses a managed ChromeOS device, even if they sign in as a guest or with a personal Gmail account.
- Force-enroll the ChromeOS devices that you want to manage
- Control who uses devices, for example, by blocking guest mode
- Use a device as a purpose-built kiosk app
- Manage ChromeOS device updates
For details, see Set ChromeOS device policies .
Setting user-level (Chrome profile) policies
On the User & browser settings page, set policies that apply when users sign in to their managed Google Account on any device.
- Enforce more than 100 Chrome policies that can be managed with on-premise tools, such as the Windows Group Policy Management Editor.
- Sync users' work apps, home tabs, and themes when they sign in to Chrome on their personal computers.
For details, see Set Chrome policies for users or browsers .
Set app and extension policies
Set policies that control the use of apps and extensions.
From the Apps and extensions managementpage:
- Set policies for a specific app. For example, force-install an app and pin it to the Chrome taskbar.
- View all your configured apps and search for more apps to configure.
- Upload a configuration file to install custom policies and settings for managing an app.
- Deploy an app as a single-app kiosk (and optionally start it automatically when the device starts).
For details, see Set policies for an app .
