Step 1: Create a JSON Policy File
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
}
Step 2: Upload the JSON Policy File to Google Admin Console
Sign in to the Google Admin console: Go to admin.google.com and sign in with your administrator account.
Navigate to Device Management: From the Admin console Home page, go to Devices.
Chrome Management: Click on Chrome management.
App Management:
Click on Apps & extensions.
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.
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.
Step 3: Apply the Policy
Save and Apply: Save the changes. The policy will be applied to all users under the specified organizational unit.
Verify Policy Application: To verify that the policy has been applied, users can navigate to chrome://policy in their Chrome browser. They should see the policies listed under the Managed Configuration section.
Example of Applying Policies
Here's an example of how your managed storage policy might be configured for an extension with ID ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme:
{
"ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme": {
"subKey": "exampleValue",
"isExamMode": true,
"isAdminControl": false
}
}
Additional Tips
Organizational Units: Ensure you are applying the policy to the correct organizational unit within your domain. Policy Propagation: Policies can take some time to propagate across all devices. It might require users to restart their Chrome browser or device. Debugging: Use the chrome://policy URL to debug and verify the policies applied to Chrome.
By following these steps, you can configure chrome.storage.managed keys using the Google Admin Console, ensuring that your Chrome extension receives the specified managed storage settings.
