This guide provides step-by-step instructions for administrators on how to set Chrome storage managed keys using the Google Admin Console. By following these steps, you can ensure secure and compliant policy management for your organization.
Create a JSON Policy File
First, create a JSON file that defines the policies you want to set. Your JSON file should look like this:
{
"subKey": "exampleValue",
"isExamMode": true,
"isAdminControl": false
}Upload the JSON Policy File to Google Admin Console
1. Sign in to the Google Admin Console
Go to admin.google.com and sign in with your administrator account.
2. Navigate to Device Management
From the Admin console Home page, go to Devices.
3. Access Chrome Management
Click on Chrome management.
4. Manage Apps & Extensions
Click on Apps & extensions.
5. Manage Policies for Extensions
Find the extension for which you want to set the policy. If the extension is not already listed, you'll need to add it. Click on the + icon to add a new app or extension by ID.
6. Upload Custom Policy
Once you have located or added the extension, click on it. Navigate to the User settings tab. Under Policy for extensions, you’ll see an option to upload your custom JSON policy file. Upload the JSON file you created in Step 1.
