Both Chromium and Google Chrome support the same set of policies. Please note that this document may include unreleased policies (i.e. their 'Supported on' entry refers to a not-yet released version of Chromium) which are subject to change or removal without notice and for which no guarantees of any kind are provided, including no guarantees with respect to their security and privacy properties.
These policies are strictly intended to be used to configure instances of Chromium internal to your organization. Use of these policies outside of your organization (for example, in a publicly distributed program) is considered malware and will likely be labeled as malware by Google and anti-virus vendors.
These settings don't need to be configured manually! Easy-to-use templates for Windows, Mac and Linux are available for download from https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates.
The recommended way to configure policy on Windows is via GPO, although provisioning policy via registry is still supported for Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.

This policy is deprecated. Please use RemoteAccessHostClientDomainList instead.
Configures the required client domain names that will be imposed on remote access clients and prevents users from changing it.
If this setting is enabled, then only clients from one of the specified domains can connect to the host.
If this setting is disabled or not set, then the default policy for the connection type is applied. For remote assistance, this allows clients from any domain to connect to the host; for anytime remote access, only the host owner can connect.
This setting will override RemoteAccessHostClientDomain, if present.
See also RemoteAccessHostDomainList.
Enables usage of STUN servers when remote clients are trying to establish a connection to this machine.
If this setting is enabled, then remote clients can discover and connect to this machines even if they are separated by a firewall.
If this setting is disabled and outgoing UDP connections are filtered by the firewall, then this machine will only allow connections from client machines within the local network.
If this policy is left not set the setting will be enabled.
This policy is deprecated. Please use RemoteAccessHostDomainList instead.
Configures the required host domain names that will be imposed on remote access hosts and prevents users from changing it.
If this setting is enabled, then hosts can be shared only using accounts registered on one of the specified domain names.
If this setting is disabled or not set, then hosts can be shared using any account.
This setting will override RemoteAccessHostDomain, if present.
See also RemoteAccessHostClientDomainList.
Configures the TalkGadget prefix that will be used by remote access hosts and prevents users from changing it.
If specified, this prefix is prepended to the base TalkGadget name to create a full domain name for the TalkGadget. The base TalkGadget domain name is '.talkgadget.google.com'.
If this setting is enabled, then hosts will use the custom domain name when accessing the TalkGadget instead of the default domain name.
If this setting is disabled or not set, then the default TalkGadget domain name ('chromoting-host.talkgadget.google.com') will be used for all hosts.
Remote access clients are not affected by this policy setting. They will always use 'chromoting-client.talkgadget.google.com' to access the TalkGadget.
Enables curtaining of remote access hosts while a connection is in progress.
If this setting is enabled, then hosts' physical input and output devices are disabled while a remote connection is in progress.
If this setting is disabled or not set, then both local and remote users can interact with the host when it is being shared.
If this setting is enabled or not configured, then users can opt to pair clients and hosts at connection time, eliminating the need to enter a PIN every time.
If this setting is disabled, then this feature will not be available.

If this policy is left not set the setting will be enabled.
Restricts the UDP port range used by the remote access host in this machine.
If this policy is left not set, or if it is set to an empty string, the remote access host will be allowed to use any available port, unless the policy RemoteAccessHostFirewallTraversal is disabled, in which case the remote access host will use UDP ports in the 12400-12409 range.
If this setting is enabled, then the remote access host compares the name of the local user (that the host is associated with) and the name of the Google account registered as the host owner (i.e. "johndoe" if the host is owned by "johndoe@example.com" Google account). The remote access host will not start if the name of the host owner is different from the name of the local user that the host is associated with. RemoteAccessHostMatchUsername policy should be used together with RemoteAccessHostDomain to also enforce that the Google account of the host owner is associated with a specific domain (i.e. "example.com").
If this setting is disabled or not set, then the remote access host can be associated with any local user.
If this policy is set, the remote access host will require authenticating clients to obtain an authentication token from this URL in order to connect. Must be used in conjunction with RemoteAccessHostTokenValidationUrl.
This feature is currently disabled server-side.
If this policy is set, the remote access host will use this URL to validate authentication tokens from remote access clients, in order to accept connections. Must be used in conjunction with RemoteAccessHostTokenUrl.
This feature is currently disabled server-side.
If this policy is set, the host will use a client certificate with the given issuer CN to authenticate to RemoteAccessHostTokenValidationUrl. Set it to "*" to use any available client certificate.
This feature is currently disabled server-side.
If this setting is enabled, the remote assistance host will be run in a process with uiAccess permissions. This will allow remote users to interact with elevated windows on the local user's desktop.
If this setting is disabled or not configured, the remote assistance host will run in the user's context and remote users cannot interact with elevated windows on the desktop.

If this policy is left not set, '3' will be used, and the user will be able to change it.
Allows you to specify a list of url patterns that specify sites for which Chromium should automatically select a client certificate, if the site requests a certificate.
The value must be an array of stringified JSON dictionaries. Each dictionary must have the form { "pattern": "$URL_PATTERN", "filter" : $FILTER }, where $URL_PATTERN is a content setting pattern. $FILTER restricts from which client certificates the browser will automatically select. Independent of the filter, only certificates will be selected that match the server's certificate request. If $FILTER has the form { "ISSUER": { "CN": "$ISSUER_CN" } }, additionally only client certificates are selected that are issued by a certificate with the CommonName $ISSUER_CN. If $FILTER is the empty dictionary {}, the selection of client certificates is not additionally restricted.
If this policy is left not set, no auto-selection will be done for any site.

Enables the use of a default search provider.
If you enable this setting, a default search is performed when the user types text in the omnibox that is not a URL.
You can specify the default search provider to be used by setting the rest of the default search policies. If these are left empty, the user can choose the default provider.
If you disable this setting, no search is performed when the user enters non-URL text in the omnibox.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set, the default search provider is enabled, and the user will be able to set the search provider list.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Specifies the name of the default search provider. If left empty or not set, the host name specified by the search URL will be used.
This policy is only considered if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies the keyword, which is the shortcut used in the omnibox to trigger the search for this provider.
This policy is optional. If not set, no keyword will activate the search provider.
This policy is only considered if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies the URL of the search engine used when doing a default search. The URL should contain the string '{searchTerms}', which will be replaced at query time by the terms the user is searching for.
Google's search URL can be specified as: '{google:baseURL}search?q={searchTerms}&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}ie={inputEncoding}'.
This option must be set when the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled and will only be respected if this is the case.
Specifies the URL of the search engine used to provide search suggestions. The URL should contain the string '{searchTerms}', which will be replaced at query time by the text the user has entered so far.
This policy is optional. If not set, no suggest URL will be used.
Google's suggest URL can be specified as: '{google:baseURL}complete/search?output=chrome&q={searchTerms}'.
This policy is only respected if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies the favorite icon URL of the default search provider.
This policy is optional. If not set, no icon will be present for the search provider.
This policy is only respected if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies the character encodings supported by the search provider. Encodings are code page names like UTF-8, GB2312, and ISO-8859-1. They are tried in the order provided.
This policy is optional. If not set, the default will be used which is UTF-8.
This policy is only respected if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies a list of alternate URLs that can be used to extract search terms from the search engine. The URLs should contain the string '{searchTerms}', which will be used to extract the search terms.
This policy is optional. If not set, no alternate urls will be used to extract search terms.
This policy is only respected if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Specifies the URL of the search engine used to provide image search. Search requests will be sent using the GET method. If the DefaultSearchProviderImageURLPostParams policy is set then image search requests will use the POST method instead.

This policy is optional. If not set, image search request will be sent using the GET method.
This policy is only respected if the 'DefaultSearchProviderEnabled' policy is enabled.
Allows you to specify which extensions the users can NOT install. Extensions already installed will be disabled if blacklisted, without a way for the user to enable them. Once an extension disabled due to the blacklist is removed from it, it will automatically get re-enabled.
A blacklist value of '*' means all extensions are blacklisted unless they are explicitly listed in the whitelist.
If this policy is left not set the user can install any extension in Chromium.
Allows you to specify which extensions are not subject to the blacklist.
A blacklist value of * means all extensions are blacklisted and users can only install extensions listed in the whitelist.
By default, all extensions are whitelisted, but if all extensions have been blacklisted by policy, the whitelist can be used to override that policy.
Specifies a list of apps and extensions that are installed silently, without user interaction, and which cannot be uninstalled nor disabled by the user. All permissions requested by the apps/extensions are granted implicitly, without user interaction, including any additional permissions requested by future versions of the app/extension. Furthermore, permissions are granted for the enterprise.deviceAttributes and enterprise.platformKeys extension APIs. (These two APIs are not available to apps/extensions that are not force-installed.)
This policy takes precedence over a potentially conflicting ExtensionInstallBlacklist policy. If an app or extension that previously had been force-installed is removed from this list, it is automatically uninstalled by Chromium.
For Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain, forced installation is limited to apps and extensions listed in the Chrome Web Store.
Note that the source code of any extension may be altered by users via Developer Tools (potentially rendering the extension dysfunctional). If this is a concern, the DeveloperToolsDisabled policy should be set.
Each list item of the policy is a string that contains an extension ID and, optionally, an "update" URL separated by a semicolon (;). The extension ID is the 32-letter string found e.g. on chrome://extensions when in developer mode. The "update" URL, if specified, should point to an Update Manifest XML document as described at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/autoupdate. By default, the Chrome Web Store's update URL is used (which currently is "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"). Note that the "update" URL set in this policy is only used for the initial installation; subsequent updates of the extension employ the update URL indicated in the extension's manifest. Note also that specifying the "update" URL explicitly was mandatory in Chromium versions up to and including 67.
For example, gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx installs the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the standard Chrome Web Store "update" URL. For more information about hosting extensions, see: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/hosting.
If this policy is left not set, no apps or extensions are installed automatically and the user can uninstall any app or extension in Chromium.
Android apps can be force-installed from the Google Admin console using Google Play. They do not use this policy.
Allows you to specify which URLs are allowed to install extensions, apps, and themes.
Starting in Chromium 21, it is more difficult to install extensions, apps, and user scripts from outside the Chrome Web Store. Previously, users could click on a link to a *.crx file, and Chromium would offer to install the file after a few warnings. After Chromium 21, such files must be downloaded and dragged onto the Chromium settings page. This setting allows specific URLs to have the old, easier installation flow.
Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern (see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns). Users will be able to easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.crx file and the page where the download is started from (i.e. the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns.
ExtensionInstallBlacklist takes precedence over this policy. That is, an extension on the blacklist won't be installed, even if it happens from a site on this list.
Controls which app/extension types are allowed to be installed and limits runtime access.
This setting white-lists the allowed types of extension/apps that can be installed in Chromium and which hosts they can interact with. The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "user_script", "hosted_app", "legacy_packaged_app", "platform_app". See the Chromium extensions documentation for more information on these types.
Note that this policy also affects extensions and apps to be force-installed via ExtensionInstallForcelist.
If this setting is configured, extensions/apps which have a type that is not on the list will not be installed.
If this settings is left not-configured, no restrictions on the acceptable extension/app types are enforced.
Configures extension management settings for Chromium.
This policy controls multiple settings, including settings controlled by any existing extension-related policies. This policy will override any legacy policies if both are set.
This policy maps an extension ID or an update URL to its configuration. With an extension ID, configuration will be applied to the specified extension only. A default configuration can be set for the special ID "*", which will apply to all extensions that don't have a custom configuration set in this policy. With an update URL, configuration will be applied to all extensions with the exact update URL stated in manifest of this extension, as described at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/autoupdate.
For a full description of possible settings and structure of this policy please visit https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/extension-settings-full
If this policy is set to true or is not set, Google Cast will be enabled, and users will be able to launch it from the app menu, page context menus, media controls on Cast-enabled websites, and (if shown) the Cast toolbar icon.
If this policy set to false, Google Cast will be disabled.
If this policy is set to true, the Cast toolbar icon will always be shown on the toolbar or the overflow menu, and users will not be able to remove it.
If this policy is set to false or is not set, users will be able to pin or remove the icon via its contextual menu.
If the policy "EnableMediaRouter" is set to false, then this policy's value would have no effect, and the toolbar icon would not be shown.
Configures the default home page URL in Chromium and prevents users from changing it.
The home page is the page opened by the Home button. The pages that open on startup are controlled by the RestoreOnStartup policies.
The home page type can either be set to a URL you specify here or set to the New Tab Page. If you select the New Tab Page, then this policy does not take effect.
If you enable this setting, users cannot change their home page URL in Chromium, but they can still choose the New Tab Page as their home page.
Leaving this policy not set will allow the user to choose their home page on their own if HomepageIsNewTabPage is not set too.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Configures the type of the default home page in Chromium and prevents users from changing home page preferences. The home page can either be set to a URL you specify or set to the New Tab Page.
If you enable this setting, the New Tab Page is always used for the home page, and the home page URL location is ignored.
If you disable this setting, the user's homepage will never be the New Tab Page, unless its URL is set to 'chrome://newtab'.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change their homepage type in Chromium.
Leaving this policy not set will allow the user to choose whether the new tab page is their home page on their own.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
If set to true, supervised users can be created and used.
If set to false or not configured, supervised-user creation and login will be disabled. All existing supervised users will be hidden.
NOTE: The default behavior for consumer and enterprise devices differs: on consumer devices supervised users are enabled by default, but on enterprise devices they are disabled by default.
If set to false, supervised-user creation by this user will be disabled. Any existing supervised users will still be available.
If set to true or not configured, supervised users can be created and managed by this user.
If true and the user is a supervised user then other Android apps can query the user's web restrictions through a content provider.
If false or unset then the content provider returns no information.
Allows you to specify which native messaging hosts that should not be loaded.
A blacklist value of '*' means all native messaging hosts are blacklisted unless they are explicitly listed in the whitelist.
If this policy is left not set Chromium will load all installed native messaging hosts.
Allows you to specify which native messaging hosts are not subject to the blacklist.
A blacklist value of * means all native messaging hosts are blacklisted and only native messaging hosts listed in the whitelist will be loaded.
By default, all native messaging hosts are whitelisted, but if all native messaging hosts have been blacklisted by policy, the whitelist can be used to override that policy.
Enables user-level installation of Native Messaging hosts.
If this setting is enabled then Chromium allows usage of Native Messaging hosts installed on user level.
If this setting is disabled then Chromium will only use Native Messaging hosts installed on system level.
If this setting is left not set Chromium will allow usage of user-level Native Messaging hosts.
This policy controls whether the Network File Shares feature for Chromium OS is allowed for a user.
When this policy is not configured or set to True, users will be able to use Network File Shares.
When this policy is set to False, users will be unable to use Network File Shares.
This policy controls whether the Network File Shares feature for Chromium OS should use the NetBIOS Name Query Request protocol to discover shares on the network. When this policy is set to True, share discovery will use the NetBIOS Name Query Request protocol protocol to discover shares on the network. When this policy is set to False, share discovery will not use the NetBIOS Name Query Request protocol protocol to discover shares. If the policy is left not set, the default is disabled for enterprise-managed users and enabled for non-managed users.
Configures the default New Tab page URL and prevents users from changing it.
The New Tab page is the page opened when new tabs are created (including the one opened in new windows).
This policy does not decide which pages are to be opened on start up. Those are controlled by the RestoreOnStartup policies. Yet this policy does affect the Home Page if that is set to open the New Tab page, as well as the startup page if that is set to open the New Tab page.
If the policy is not set or left empty the default new tab page is used.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
If this setting is enabled, users can have Chromium memorize passwords and provide them automatically the next time they log in to a site.
If this settings is disabled, users cannot save new passwords but they may still use passwords that have been saved previously.
If this policy is enabled or disabled, users cannot change or override it in Chromium. If this policy is unset, password saving is allowed (but can be turned off by the user).
This policy has no effect on Android apps.
Specifies which HTTP authentication schemes are supported by Chromium.
Possible values are 'basic', 'digest', 'ntlm' and 'negotiate'. Separate multiple values with commas.
If this policy is left not set, all four schemes will be used.
Specifies whether the generated Kerberos SPN is based on the canonical DNS name or the original name entered.
If you enable this setting, CNAME lookup will be skipped and the server name will be used as entered.
If you disable this setting or leave it not set, the canonical name of the server will be determined via CNAME lookup.
Specifies whether the generated Kerberos SPN should include a non-standard port.
If you enable this setting, and a non-standard port (i.e., a port other than 80 or 443) is entered, it will be included in the generated Kerberos SPN.
If you disable this setting or leave it not set, the generated Kerberos SPN will not include a port in any case.
Specifies which servers should be whitelisted for integrated authentication. Integrated authentication is only enabled when Chromium receives an authentication challenge from a proxy or from a server which is in this permitted list.
Separate multiple server names with commas. Wildcards (*) are allowed.
If you leave this policy not set Chromium will try to detect if a server is on the Intranet and only then will it respond to IWA requests. If a server is detected as Internet then IWA requests from it will be ignored by Chromium.
Servers that Chromium may delegate to.
Separate multiple server names with commas. Wildcards (*) are allowed.
If you leave this policy not set Chromium will not delegate user credentials even if a server is detected as Intranet.
Specifies which GSSAPI library to use for HTTP authentication. You can set either just a library name, or a full path.
If no setting is provided, Chromium will fall back to using a default library name.
Specifies the account type of the accounts provided by the Android authentication app that supports HTTP Negotiate authentication (e.g. Kerberos authentication). This information should be available from the supplier of the authentication app. For more details see https://goo.gl/hajyfN.
If no setting is provided, HTTP Negotiate authentication is disabled on Android.
Controls whether third-party sub-content on a page is allowed to pop-up an HTTP Basic Auth dialog box.
Typically this is disabled as a phishing defense. If this policy is not set, this is disabled and third-party sub-content will not be allowed to pop up a HTTP Basic Auth dialog box.
Controls whether NTLMv2 is enabled.
All recent versions of Samba and Windows servers support NTLMv2. This should only be disabled for backwards compatibility and reduces the security of authentication.
If this policy is not set, the default is true and NTLMv2 is enabled.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is dimmed when running on AC power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS dims the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not dim the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the screen off delay (if set) and the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is turned off when running on AC power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS turns off the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not turn off the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is locked when running on AC power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS locks the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not lock the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The recommended way to lock the screen on idle is to enable screen locking on suspend and have Chromium OS suspend after the idle delay. This policy should only be used when screen locking should occur a significant amount of time sooner than suspend or when suspend on idle is not desired at all.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which a warning dialog is shown when running on AC power.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS shows a warning dialog telling the user that the idle action is about to be taken.
When this policy is unset, no warning dialog is shown.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the idle action is taken when running on AC power.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS takes the idle action, which can be configured separately.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is dimmed when running on battery power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS dims the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not dim the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the screen off delay (if set) and the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is turned off when running on battery power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS turns off the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not turn off the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is locked when running on battery power.
When this policy is set to a value greater than zero, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS locks the screen.
When this policy is set to zero, Chromium OS does not lock the screen when the user becomes idle.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The recommended way to lock the screen on idle is to enable screen locking on suspend and have Chromium OS suspend after the idle delay. This policy should only be used when screen locking should occur a significant amount of time sooner than suspend or when suspend on idle is not desired at all.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which a warning dialog is shown when running on battery power.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS shows a warning dialog telling the user that the idle action is about to be taken.
When this policy is unset, no warning dialog is shown.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than or equal the idle delay.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the idle action is taken when running on battery power.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS takes the idle action, which can be configured separately.
When this policy is unset, a default length of time is used.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds.
Note that this policy is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
This policy provides a fallback value for the more-specific IdleActionAC and IdleActionBattery policies. If this policy is set, its value gets used if the respective more-specific policy is not set.
When this policy is unset, behavior of the more-specific policies remains unaffected.
When this policy is set, it specifies the action that Chromium OS takes when the user remains idle for the length of time given by the idle delay, which can be configured separately.
When this policy is unset, the default action is taken, which is suspend.
If the action is suspend, Chromium OS can separately be configured to either lock or not lock the screen before suspending.
When this policy is set, it specifies the action that Chromium OS takes when the user remains idle for the length of time given by the idle delay, which can be configured separately.
When this policy is unset, the default action is taken, which is suspend.
If the action is suspend, Chromium OS can separately be configured to either lock or not lock the screen before suspending.
When this policy is set, it specifies the action that Chromium OS takes when the user closes the device's lid.
When this policy is unset, the default action is taken, which is suspend.
If the action is suspend, Chromium OS can separately be configured to either lock or not lock the screen before suspending.
If this policy is set to True or is unset, the user is not considered to be idle while audio is playing. This prevents the idle timeout from being reached and the idle action from being taken. However, screen dimming, screen off and screen lock will be performed after the configured timeouts, irrespective of audio activity.
If this policy is set to False, audio activity does not prevent the user from being considered idle.
If this policy is set to True or is unset, the user is not considered to be idle while video is playing. This prevents the idle delay, screen dim delay, screen off delay and screen lock delay from being reached and the corresponding actions from being taken.
If this policy is set to False, video activity does not prevent the user from being considered idle.
Video playing in Android apps is not taken into consideration, even if this policy is set to True.
Specifies the percentage by which the screen dim delay is scaled when the device is in presentation mode.
If this policy is set, it specifies the percentage by which the screen dim delay is scaled when the device is in presentation mode. When the screen dim delay is scaled, the screen off, screen lock and idle delays get adjusted to maintain the same distances from the screen dim delay as originally configured.
If this policy is unset, a default scale factor is used.
The scale factor must be 100% or more. Values that would make the screen dim delay in presentation mode shorter than the regular screen dim delay are not allowed.
Specifies whether screen wake locks are allowed. Screen wake locks can be requested by extensions via the power management extension API.
If this policy is set to true or left not set, screen wake locks will be honored for power management.
If this policy is set to false, screen wake lock requests will get ignored.
Specifies the percentage by which the screen dim delay is scaled when user activity is observed while the screen is dimmed or soon after the screen has been turned off.
If this policy is set, it specifies the percentage by which the screen dim delay is scaled when user activity is observed while the screen is dimmed or soon after the screen has been turned off. When the dim delay is scaled, the screen off, screen lock and idle delays get adjusted to maintain the same distances from the screen dim delay as originally configured.
If this policy is unset, a default scale factor is used.
The scale factor must be 100% or more.
Specifies whether power management delays and the session length limit should only start running after the first user activity has been observed in a session.
If this policy is set to True, power management delays and the session length limit do not start running until after the first user activity has been observed in a session.
If this policy is set to False or left unset, power management delays and the session length limit start running immediately on session start.
This policy controls multiple settings for the power management strategy when the user becomes idle.
There are four types of action: * The screen will be dimmed if the user remains idle for the time specified by |ScreenDim|. * The screen will be turned off if the user remains idle for the time specified by |ScreenOff|. * A warning dialog will be shown if the user remains idle for the time specified by |IdleWarning|, telling the user that the idle action is about to be taken. * The action specified by |IdleAction| will be taken if the user remains idle for the time specified by |Idle|.
For each of above actions, the delay should be specified in milliseconds, and needs to be set to a value greater than zero to trigger the corresponding action. In case the delay is set to zero, Chromium OS will not take the corresponding action.
For each of the above delays, when the length of time is unset, a default value will be used.
Note that |ScreenDim| values will be clamped to be less than or equal to |ScreenOff|, |ScreenOff| and |IdleWarning| will be clamped to be less than or equal to |Idle|.
|IdleAction| can be one of four possible actions: * |Suspend| * |Logout| * |Shutdown| * |DoNothing|
When the |IdleAction| is unset, the default action is taken, which is suspend.
There are also separate settings for AC power and battery.
Specifies the length of time without user input after which the screen is locked when running on AC power or battery.
When the length of time is set to a value greater than zero, it represents the length of time that the user must remain idle before Chromium OS locks the screen.
When the length of time is set to zero, Chromium OS does not lock the screen when the user becomes idle.
When the length of time is unset, a default length of time is used.
The recommended way to lock the screen on idle is to enable screen locking on suspend and have Chromium OS suspend after the idle delay. This policy should only be used when screen locking should occur a significant amount of time sooner than suspend or when suspend on idle is not desired at all.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to be less than the idle delay.
Specifies whether a smart dim model is allowed to extend the time until the screen is dimmed.
When the screen is about to be dimmed, the smart dim model evaluates if dimming the screen should be deferred. If the smart dim model defers dimming the screen, it effectively extends the time until the screen is dimmed. In this case, the screen off, screen lock and idle delays get adjusted to maintain the same distances from the screen dim delay as originally configured. If this policy is set to True or left not set, the smart dim model will be enabled and allowed to extend the time until the screen is dimmed. If this policy is set to False, the smart dim model will not influence screen dimming.
Allows you to specify the proxy server used by Chromium and prevents users from changing proxy settings.
If you choose to never use a proxy server and always connect directly, all other options are ignored.
If you choose to use system proxy settings, all other options are ignored.
If you choose to auto detect the proxy server, all other options are ignored.
If you choose fixed server proxy mode, you can specify further options in 'Address or URL of proxy server' and 'Comma-separated list of proxy bypass rules'. Only the HTTP proxy server with the highest priority is available for ARC-apps.
If you choose to use a .pac proxy script, you must specify the URL to the script in 'URL to a proxy .pac file'.
For detailed examples, visit: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-settings#TOC-Command-line-options-for-proxy-sett.
If you enable this setting, Chromium and ARC-apps ignore all proxy-related options specified from the command line.
Leaving this policy not set will allow the users to choose the proxy settings on their own.
You cannot force Android apps to use a proxy. A subset of proxy settings is made available to Android apps, which they may voluntarily choose to honor:
If you choose to never use a proxy server, Android apps are informed that no proxy is configured.
If you choose to use system proxy settings or a fixed server proxy, Android apps are provided with the http proxy server address and port.
If you choose to auto detect the proxy server, the script URL "http://wpad/wpad.dat" is provided to Android apps. No other part of the proxy auto-detection protocol is used.
If you choose to use a .pac proxy script, the script URL is provided to Android apps.
This policy is deprecated, use ProxyMode instead.
Allows you to specify the proxy server used by Chromium and prevents users from changing proxy settings.

A whitelist controlling which quick unlock modes the user can configure and use to unlock the lock screen.
This value is a list of strings; valid list entries are: "all", "PIN". Adding "all" to the list means that every quick unlock mode is available to the user, including ones implemented in the future. Otherwise, only the quick unlock modes present in the list will be available.
For example, to allow every quick unlock mode, use ["all"]. To allow only PIN unlock, use ["PIN"]. To disable all quick unlock modes, use [].
By default, no quick unlock modes are available for managed devices.
This setting controls how often the lock screen will request the password to be entered in order to continue using quick unlock. Each time the lock screen is entered, if the last password entry was more than this setting, the quick unlock will not be available on entering the lock screen. Should the user stay on the lock screen past this period of time, a password will be requested next time the user enters the wrong code, or re-enters the lock screen, whichever comes first.
If this setting is configured, users using quick unlock will be requested to enter their passwords on the lock screen depending on this setting.
If this setting is not configured, users using quick unlock will be requested to enter their password on the lock screen every day.
If the policy is set, the configured minimal PIN length is enforced. (The absolute minimum PIN length is 1; values less than 1 are treated as 1.)
If the policy is not set, a minimal PIN length of 6 digits is enforced. This is the recommended minimum.
If the policy is set, the configured maximal PIN length is enforced. A value of 0 or less means no maximum length; in that case the user may set a PIN as long as they want. If this setting is less than PinUnlockMinimumLength but greater than 0, the maximum length is the same as the minimum length.
If the policy is not set, no maximum length is enforced.
If false, users will be unable to set PINs which are weak and easy to guess.
Some example weak PINs: PINs containing only one digit (1111), PINs whose digits are increasing by 1 (1234), PINs whose digits are decreasing by 1 (4321), and PINs which are commonly used.
By default, users will get a warning, not error, if the PIN is considered weak.
If true, remote attestation is allowed for the device and a certificate will automatically be generated and uploaded to the Device Management Server.
If it is set to false, or if it is not set, no certificate will be generated and calls to the enterprise.platformKeys extension API will fail.
If true, the user can use the hardware on Chrome devices to remote attest its identity to the privacy CA via the Enterprise Platform Keys API using chrome.enterprise.platformKeys.challengeUserKey().
If it is set to false, or if it is not set, calls to the API will fail with an error code.
This policy specifies the allowed extensions to use the Enterprise Platform Keys API function chrome.enterprise.platformKeys.challengeUserKey() for remote attestation. Extensions must be added to this list to use the API.
If an extension is not in the list, or the list is not set, the call to the API will fail with an error code.
Chrome OS devices can use remote attestation (Verified Access) to get a certificate issued by the Chrome OS CA that asserts the device is eligible to play protected content. This process involves sending hardware endorsement information to the Chrome OS CA which uniquely identifies the device.
If this setting is false, the device will not use remote attestation for content protection and the device may be unable to play protected content.
If this setting is true, or if it is not set, remote attestation may be used for content protection.
Enables Chromium's Safe Browsing feature and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable this setting, Safe Browsing is always active.
If you disable this setting, Safe Browsing is never active.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override the "Enable phishing and malware protection" setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set, this will be enabled but the user will be able to change it.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Enables Chromium's Safe Browsing Extended Reporting and prevents users from changing this setting.
Extended Reporting sends some system information and page content to Google servers to help detect dangerous apps and sites.
If the setting is set to true, then reports will be created and sent whenever necessary (such as when a security interstitial is shown).
If the setting is set to false, reports will never be sent.
If this policy is set to true or false, the user will not be able to modify the setting.
If this policy is left unset, the user will be able to change the setting and decide whether to send reports or not.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
This setting is deprecated, use SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingEnabled instead. Enabling or disabling SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingEnabled is equivalent to setting SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingOptInAllowed to False.
Setting this policy to false stops users from choosing to send some system information and page content to Google servers. If this setting is true or not configured, then users will be allowed to send some system information and page content to Safe Browsing to help detect dangerous apps and sites.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
Configure the list of domains which Safe Browsing will trust. This means: Safe Browsing will not check for dangerous resources (e.g. phishing, malware, or unwanted software) if their URLs match these domains. Safe Browsing's download protection service will not check downloads hosted on these domains. Safe Browsing's password protection service will not check for password reuse if the page URL matches these domains.
If this setting is enabled, then Safe Browsing will trust these domains. If this setting is disabled or not set, then default Safe Browsing protection is applied to all resources. This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Allows you to control the triggering of passwore protection warning. Password protection alerts users when they reuse their protected password on potentially suspicious sites.
You can use 'PasswordProtectionLoginURLs' and 'PasswordProtectionChangePasswordURL' policies to configure which password to protect.
If this policy is set to 'PasswordProtectionWarningOff', no password protection warning will be shown. If this policy is set to 'PasswordProtectionWarningOnPasswordReuse', password protection warning will be shown when the user reuses their protected password on a non-whitelisted site. If this policy is set to 'PasswordProtectionWarningOnPhishingReuse', password protection warning will be shown when the user reuses their protected password on a phishing site. If this policy is left unset, password protection service will only protect Google passwords but the user will be able to change this setting.
Configure the list of enterprise login URLs (HTTP and HTTPS schemes only). Fingerprint of password will be captured on these URLs and used for password reuse detection. In order for Chromium to correctly capture password fingerprints, please make sure your login pages follow the guidelines on https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/create-amazing-password-forms.
If this setting is enabled, then password protection service will capture fingerprint of password on these URLs for password reuse detection purpose. If this setting is disabled or not set, then password protection service will only capture password fingerprint on https://accounts.google.com. This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Configure the change password URL (HTTP and HTTPS schemes only). Password protection service will send users to this URL to change their password after seeing a warning in the browser. In order for Chromium to correctly capture the new password fingerprint on this change password page, please make sure your change password page follows the guidelines on https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/create-amazing-password-forms.
If this setting is enabled, then password protection service will send users to this URL to change their password after seeing a warning in the browser. If this setting is disabled or not set, then password protection service will send users to https://myaccounts.google.com to change their password. This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Allows you to specify the behavior on startup.
If you choose 'Open New Tab Page' the New Tab Page will always be opened when you start Chromium.
If you choose 'Restore the last session', the URLs that were open last time Chromium was closed will be reopened and the browsing session will be restored as it was left. Choosing this option disables some settings that rely on sessions or that perform actions on exit (such as Clear browsing data on exit or session-only cookies).
If you choose 'Open a list of URLs', the list of 'URLs to open on startup' will be opened when a user starts Chromium.
If you enable this setting, users cannot change or override it in Chromium.
Disabling this setting is equivalent to leaving it not configured. The user will still be able to change it in Chromium.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
If 'Open a list of URLs' is selected as the startup action, this allows you to specify the list of URLs that are opened. If left not set no URL will be opened on start up.
This policy only works if the 'RestoreOnStartup' policy is set to 'RestoreOnStartupIsURLs'.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Allows you to set whether sites with abusive experiences should be prevented from opening new windows or tabs.
If this policy is set to True, sites with abusive experiences will be prevented from opening new windows or tabs. However this behavior will not trigger if SafeBrowsingEnabled policy is set to False. If this policy is set to False, sites with abusive experiences will be allowed to open new windows or tabs. If this policy is left not set, True will be used.
Allows you to set whether ads should be blocked on sites with intrusive ads.
If this policy is set to 2, ads will be blocked on sites with intrusive ads. However this behavior will not trigger if SafeBrowsingEnabled policy is set to False. If this policy is set to 1, ads will not be blocked on sites with intrusive ads. If this policy is left not set, 2 will be used.
Enables deleting browser history and download history in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
Note that even with this policy disabled, the browsing and download history are not guaranteed to be retained: users may be able to edit or delete the history database files directly, and the browser itself may expire or archive any or all history items at any time.
If this setting is enabled or not set, browsing and download history can be deleted.
If this setting is disabled, browsing and download history cannot be deleted.
Allow users to play dinosaur easter egg game when device is offline.
If this policy is set to False, users will not be able to play the dinosaur easter egg game when device is offline. If this setting is set to True, users are allowed to play the dinosaur game. If this policy is not set, users are not allowed to play the dinosaur easter egg game on enrolled Chrome OS, but are allowed to play it under other circumstances.
Allows access to local files on the machine by allowing Chromium to display file selection dialogs.
If you enable this setting, users can open file selection dialogs as normal.
If you disable this setting, whenever the user performs an action which would provoke a file selection dialog (like importing bookmarks, uploading files, saving links, etc.) a message is displayed instead and the user is assumed to have clicked Cancel on the file selection dialog.
If this setting is not set, users can open file selection dialogs as normal.
Whether to allow the auto launched with zero delay kiosk app to control Chromium OS version.
This policy controls whether to allow the auto launched with zero delay kiosk app to control Chromium OS version by declaring a required_platform_version in its manifest and use it as the auto update target version prefix.
If the policy is set to true, the value of required_platform_version manifest key of the auto launched with zero delay kiosk app is used as auto update target version prefix.
If the policy is not configured or set to false, the required_platform_version manifest key is ignored and auto update proceeds as normal.
Warning: It is not recommended to delegate control of the Chromium OS version to a kiosk app as it may prevent the device from receiving software updates and critical security fixes. Delegating control of the Chromium OS version might leave users at risk.
If the kiosk app is an Android app, it will have no control over the Chromium OS version, even if this policy is set to True.
If you enable this setting, outdated plugins are used as normal plugins.
If you disable this setting, outdated plugins will not be used and users will not be asked for permission to run them.
If this setting is not set, users will be asked for permission to run outdated plugins.
If this policy is set to false, users will not be able to lock the screen (only signing out from the user session will be possible). If this setting is set to true or not set, users who authenticated with a password can lock the screen.
Enables Chromium's restricted log in feature in G Suite and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you define this setting, the user will only be able to access Google Apps using accounts from the specified domains (note that this does not work for gmail.com/googlemail.com).
This setting will NOT prevent the user from loging in on a managed device that requires Google authentication. The user will still be allowed to sign in to accounts from other domains, but they will receive an error when trying to use G Suite with those accounts.
If you leave this setting empty/not-configured, the user will be able to access G Suite with any account.
This policy causes the X-GoogApps-Allowed-Domains header to be appended to all HTTP and HTTPS requests to all google.com domains, as described in https://support.google.com/a/answer/1668854.
Users cannot change or override this setting.
Configures which keyboard layouts are allowed for Chromium OS user sessions.
If this policy is set, the user can only select one of the input methods specified by this policy. If this policy is not set or set to an empty list, the user can select all supported input methods. If the current input method is not allowed by this policy, the input method will be switched to the hardware keyboard layout (if allowed) or the first valid entry in this list. All invalid or unsupported input methods in this list will be ignored.
Configures the locales Chromium OS may be displayed in.
If this policy is set, the user can only configure Chromium OS to be displayed in one of the locales specified by this policy. If this policy is not set or set to an empty list, Chromium OS can be displayed in all supported UI locales. If this policy is set to a list with invalid values, all invalid values will be ignored. If a user previously configured Chromium OS to be displayed in a locale that is not allowed by this policy, the display locale will be switched to an allowed UI locale the next time the user signs in. If the user had configured preferred locales and one of the preferred locales is allowed by this policy, Chromium OS will switch to this locale. Otherwise, Chromium OS will switch to the first valid value specified by this policy, or to a fallback locale (currently en-US), if this policy only contains invalid entries.
Enables the use of alternate error pages that are built into Chromium (such as 'page not found') and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable this setting, alternate error pages are used.
If you disable this setting, alternate error pages are never used.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set, this will be enabled but the user will be able to change it.
Disables the internal PDF viewer in Chromium. Instead it treats it as download and allows the user to open PDF files with the default application.
If this policy is left not set or disabled the PDF plugin will be used to open PDF files unless the user disables it.
Configures the application locale in Chromium and prevents users from changing the locale.
If you enable this setting, Chromium uses the specified locale. If the configured locale is not supported, 'en-US' is used instead.
If this setting is disabled or not set, Chromium uses either the user-specified preferred locale (if configured), the system locale or the fallback locale 'en-US'.
Enables reporting of key events during Android app installation to Google. Events are captured only for apps whose installation was triggered via policy.
If the policy is set to true, events will be logged. If the policy is set to false or unset, events will not be logged.
This policy controls the availability of Android backup and restore.
When this policy is not configured or set to BackupAndRestoreDisabled, Android backup and restore is disabled and cannot be enabled by the user.
When this policy is set to BackupAndRestoreUnderUserControl, the user is asked to choose whether to use Android backup and restore. If the user enables backup and restore, Android app data is uploaded to Android backup servers and restored from them upon app re-installations for compatible apps.
If set to SyncDisabled or not configured, Chromium OS certificates are not available for ARC-apps.
If set to CopyCaCerts, all ONC-installed CA certificates with Web TrustBit are available for ARC-apps.
When this policy is set to true, ARC will be enabled for the user (subject to additional policy settings checks - ARC will still be unavailable if either ephemeral mode or multiple sign-in is enabled in the current user session).
If this setting is disabled or not configured then enterprise users are unable to use ARC.
This policy controls the availability of Google location services.
When this policy is not configured or set to GoogleLocationServicesDisabled, Google location services are disabled and cannot be enabled by the user.
When this policy is set to GoogleLocationServicesUnderUserControl, the user is asked to choose whether to use Google location services. This will allow Android apps to use the services to query the device location, and also will enable submitting of anonymous location data to Google.
Note that this policy is ignored and Google location services are always disabled when the DefaultGeolocationSetting policy is set to BlockGeolocation.
Specifies a set of policies that will be handed over to the ARC runtime. The value must be valid JSON.
This policy can be used to configure which Android apps are automatically installed on the device:
{ "type": "object", "properties": { "applications": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "packageName": { "description": "Android app identifier, e.g. "com.google.android.gm" for Gmail", "type": "string" }, "installType": { "description": "Specifies how an app is installed. OPTIONAL: The app is not installed automatically, but the user can install it. This is the default if this policy is not specified. PRELOAD: The app is installed automatically, but the user can uninstall it. FORCE_INSTALLED: The app is installed automatically and the user cannot uninstall it. BLOCKED: The app is blocked and cannot be installed. If the app was installed under a previous policy it will be uninstalled.", "type": "string", "enum": [ "OPTIONAL", "PRELOAD", "FORCE_INSTALLED", "BLOCKED" ] }, "defaultPermissionPolicy": { "description": "Policy for granting permission requests to apps. PERMISSION_POLICY_UNSPECIFIED: Policy not specified. If no policy is specified for a permission at any level, then the `PROMPT` behavior is used by default.

DENY: Automatically deny a permission.", "type": "string", "enum": [ "PERMISSION_POLICY_UNSPECIFIED", "PROMPT", "GRANT", "DENY" ] }, "managedConfiguration": { "description": "App-specific JSON configuration object with a set of key-value pairs, e.g. '"managedConfiguration": { "key1": value1, "key2": value2 }'. The keys are defined in the app manifest.", "type": "object" } } } } } }
To pin apps to the launcher, see PinnedLauncherApps.
If enabled or not configured (default), the user will be prompted for audio capture access except for URLs configured in the AudioCaptureAllowedUrls list which will be granted access without prompting.
When this policy is disabled, the user will never be prompted and audio capture only be available to URLs configured in AudioCaptureAllowedUrls.
This policy affects all types of audio inputs and not only the built-in microphone.
For Android apps, this policy affects the microphone only. When this policy is set to true, the microphone is muted for all Android apps, with no exceptions.
Patterns in this list will be matched against the security origin of the requesting URL. If a match is found, access to audio capture devices will be granted without prompt.
NOTE: Until version 45, this policy was only supported in Kiosk mode.
When this policy is set to false, audio output will not be available on the device while the user is logged in.
This policy affects all types of audio output and not only the built-in speakers. Audio accessibility features are also inhibited by this policy. Do not enable this policy if a screen reader is required for the user.
If this setting is set to true or not configured then users can use all supported audio outputs on their device.
This policy is deprecated in M70, please use AutofillAddressEnabled and AutofillCreditCardEnabled instead.
Enables Chromium's AutoFill feature and allows users to auto complete web forms using previously stored information such as address or credit card information.
If you disable this setting, AutoFill will be inaccessible to users.
If you enable this setting or do not set a value, AutoFill will remain under the control of the user. This will allow them to configure AutoFill profiles and to switch AutoFill on or off at their own discretion.
Enables Chromium's AutoFill feature and allows users to auto complete address information in web forms using previously stored information.
If this setting is disabled, Autofill will never suggest, or fill address information, nor will it save additional address information that the user might submit while browsing the web.
If this setting is enabled or has no value, the user will be able to control Autofill for addresses in the UI.
Enables Chromium's AutoFill feature and allows users to auto complete credit card information in web forms using previously stored information.
If this setting is disabled, Autofill will never suggest, or fill credit card information, nor will it save additional credit card information that the user might submit while browsing the web.
If this setting is enabled or has no value, the user will be able to control Autofill for credit cards in the UI.
Allows you to control if videos can play automatically (without user consent) with audio content in Chromium.
If the policy is set to True, Chromium is allowed to autoplay media. If the policy is set to False, Chromium is not allowed to autoplay media. The AutoplayWhitelist policy can be used to override this for certain URL patterns. By default, Chromium is not allowed to autoplay media. The AutoplayWhitelist policy can be used to override this for certain URL patterns.
Note that if Chromium is running and this policy changes, it will be applied only to new opened tabs. Therefore some tabs might still observe the previous behavior.
Controls the whitelist of URL patterns that autoplay will always be enabled on.
If autoplay is enabled then videos can play automatically (without user consent) with audio content in Chromium.
A URL pattern has to be formatted according to https://www.chromium.org/administrators/url-blacklist-filter-format.
If the AutoplayAllowed policy is set to True then this policy will have no effect.
If the AutoplayAllowed policy is set to False then any URL patterns set in this policy will still be allowed to play.
Note that if Chromium is running and this policy changes, it will be applied only to new opened tabs. Therefore some tabs might still observe the previous behavior.
Determines whether a Chromium process is started on OS login and keeps running when the last browser window is closed, allowing background apps and the current browsing session to remain active, including any session cookies. The background process displays an icon in the system tray and can always be closed from there.
If this policy is set to True, background mode is enabled and cannot be controlled by the user in the browser settings.
If this policy is set to False, background mode is disabled and cannot be controlled by the user in the browser settings.
If this policy is left unset, background mode is initially disabled and can be controlled by the user in the browser settings.
Enabling this setting prevents cookies from being set by web page elements that are not from the domain that is in the browser's address bar.
Disabling this setting allows cookies to be set by web page elements that are not from the domain that is in the browser's address bar and prevents users from changing this setting.
If this policy is left not set, third party cookies will be enabled but the user will be able to change that.
If you enable this setting, Chromium will show a bookmark bar.
If you disable this setting, users will never see the bookmark bar.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override it in Chromium.
If this setting is left not set the user can decide to use this function or not.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, Chromium will allow Add Person from the user manager.
If this policy is set to false, Chromium will not allow creation of new profiles from the user manager.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, Chromium will enable guest logins. Guest logins are Chromium profiles where all windows are in incognito mode.
If this policy is set to false, Chromium will not allow guest profiles to be started.
Setting this policy to false stops Chromium from occasionally sending queries to a Google server to retrieve an accurate timestamp. These queries will be enabled if this policy is set to True or is not set.
This policy controls the sign-in behavior of the browser. It allows you to specify if the user can sign in to Chromium with their account and use account related services like Chrome sync.
If the policy is set to "Disable browser sign-in" then the user can not sign in to the browser and use account based services. In this case browser level features like Chrome sync can not be used and will be unavailable. If the user was signed in and the policy is set "Disabled" they will be signed out the next time they run Chrome but their local profile data like bookmarks, passwords etc. will stay preserved. The user will still be able to sign into and use Google web services like Gmail.
If the policy is set to "Enable browser sign-in," then the user is allowed to sign in to the browser and is automatically signed in to the browser when signed in to Google web services like Gmail. Being signed in to the browser means the user's account information will be kept by the browser. However, it does not mean that Chrome sync will be turned on per default; the user must separately opt-in to use this feature. Enabling this policy will prevent the user from turning off the setting that allows browser sign-in. To control the availability of Chrome sync, use the "SyncDisabled" policy.
If the policy is set to "Force browser sign-in" the user is presented with an account selection dialog and has to choose and sign in to an account to use the browser. This ensures that for managed accounts the policies associated with the account are applied and enforced. By default this turns on Chrome sync for the account, except for the case when sync was disabled by the domain admin or via the "SyncDisabled" policy. The default value of BrowserGuestModeEnabled will be set to false. Note that existing unsigned profiles will be locked and inaccessible after enabling this policy. For more information, see help center article: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7572556.
If this policy is not set then the user can decide if they want to enable the browser sign in option and use it as they see fit.
Controls whether the built-in DNS client is used in Chromium.
If this policy is set to true, the built-in DNS client will be used, if available.
If this policy is set to false, the built-in DNS client will never be used.
If this policy is left not set, the users will be able to change whether the built-in DNS client is used by editing chrome://flags or specifying a command-line flag.
This policy allows Chromium OS to bypass any proxy for captive portal authentication.
This policy only takes effect if a proxy is configured (for example through policy, by the user in chrome://settings, or by extensions).
If you enable this setting, any captive portal authentication pages (i.e. all web pages starting from captive portal signin page until Chromium detects successful internet connection) will be displayed in a separate window ignoring all policy settings and restrictions for the current user.
If you disable this setting or leave it unset, any captive portal authentication pages will be shown in a (regular) new browser tab, using the current user's proxy settings.
Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes.
This policy allows disabling Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for certificate chains that contain certificates with one of the specified subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted, because they were not properly publicly disclosed, to continue to be used for Enterprise hosts.
In order for Certificate Transparency enforcement to be disabled when this policy is set, one of the following conditions must be met: 1. The hash is of the server certificate's subjectPublicKeyInfo. 2. The hash is of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a CA certificate in the certificate chain, that CA certificate is constrained via the X.509v3 nameConstraints extension, one or more directoryName nameConstraints are present in the permittedSubtrees, and the directoryName contains an organizationName attribute. 3. The hash is of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a CA certificate in the certificate chain, the CA certificate has one or more organizationName attributes in the certificate Subject, and the server's certificate contains the same number of organizationName attributes, in the same order, and with byte-for-byte identical values.
A subjectPublicKeyInfo hash is specified by concatenating the hash algorithm name, the "/" character, and the Base64 encoding of that hash algorithm applied to the DER-encoded subjectPublicKeyInfo of the specified certificate. This Base64 encoding is the same format as an SPKI Fingerprint, as defined in RFC 7469, Section 2.4. Unrecognized hash algorithms are ignored. The only supported hash algorithm at this time is "sha256".
If this policy is not set, any certificate that is required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it is not disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy.
Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of Legacy Certificate Authorities.
This policy allows disabling Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for certificate chains that contain certificates with one of the specified subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted, because they were not properly publicly disclosed, to continue to be used for Enterprise hosts.
In order for Certificate Transparency enforcement to be disabled when this policy is set, the hash must be of a subjectPublicKeyInfo appearing in a CA certificate that is recognized as a Legacy Certificate Authority (CA). A Legacy CA is a CA that has been publicly trusted by default one or more operating systems supported by Chromium, but is not trusted by the Android Open Source Project or Chromium OS.
A subjectPublicKeyInfo hash is specified by concatenating the hash algorithm name, the "/" character, and the Base64 encoding of that hash algorithm applied to the DER-encoded subjectPublicKeyInfo of the specified certificate. This Base64 encoding is the same format as an SPKI Fingerprint, as defined in RFC 7469, Section 2.4. Unrecognized hash algorithms are ignored. The only supported hash algorithm at this time is "sha256".
If this policy is not set, any certificate that is required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it is not disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy.
Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements to the listed URLs.
This policy allows certificates for the hostnames in the specified URLs to not be disclosed via Certificate Transparency. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted, because they were not properly publicly disclosed, to continue to be used, but makes it harder to detect misissued certificates for those hosts.
A URL pattern is formatted according to https://www.chromium.org/administrators/url-blacklist-filter-format. However, because certificates are valid for a given hostname independent of the scheme, port, or path, only the hostname portion of the URL is considered. Wildcard hosts are not supported.
If this policy is not set, any certificate that is required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it is not disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy.
If disabled, prevents Chrome Cleanup from scanning the system for unwanted software and performing cleanups. Manually triggering Chrome Cleanup from chrome://settings/cleanup is disabled.
If enabled or unset, Chrome Cleanup periodically scans the system for unwanted software and should any be found, will ask the user if they wish to remove it. Manually triggering Chrome Cleanup from chrome://settings is enabled.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
If unset, should Chrome Cleanup detect unwanted software, it may report metadata about the scan to Google in accordance with policy set by SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingEnabled. Chrome Cleanup will then ask the user if they wish to clean up the unwanted software. The user can choose to share results of the cleanup with Google to assist with future unwanted software detection. These results contain file metadata, automatically installed extensions and registry keys as described by the Chrome Privacy Whitepaper.
If disabled, should Chrome Cleanup detect unwanted software, it will not report metadata about the scan to Google, overriding any policy set by SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingEnabled. Chrome Cleanup will ask the user if they wish to clean up the unwanted software. Results of the cleanup will not be reported to Google and the user will not have the option to do so.
If enabled, should Chrome Cleanup detect unwanted software, it may report metadata about the scan to Google in accordance with policy set by SafeBrowsingExtendedReportingEnabled. Chrome Cleanup will ask the user if they wish to clean up the unwanted software. Results of the cleanup will be reported to Google and the user will not have the option to prevent it.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
Enable lock when Chromium OS devices become idle or suspended.
If you enable this setting, users will be asked for a password to unlock the device from sleep.
If you disable this setting, users will not be asked for a password to unlock the device from sleep.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override it.
If the policy is left not set the user can choose whether they want to be asked for password to unlock the device or not.
Control the user behavior in a multiprofile session on Chromium OS devices.
If this policy is set to 'MultiProfileUserBehaviorUnrestricted', the user can be either primary or secondary user in a multiprofile session.
If this policy is set to 'MultiProfileUserBehaviorMustBePrimary', the user can only be the primary user in a multiprofile session.
If this policy is set to 'MultiProfileUserBehaviorNotAllowed', the user cannot be part of a multiprofile session.
If you set this setting, users cannot change or override it.
If the setting is changed while the user is signed into a multiprofile session, all users in the session will be checked against their corresponding settings. The session will be closed if any one of the users is no longer allowed to be in the session.
If the policy is left not set, the default value 'MultiProfileUserBehaviorMustBePrimary' applies for enterprise-managed users and 'MultiProfileUserBehaviorUnrestricted' will be used for non-managed users.
When multiple users are logged in, only the primary user can use Android apps.
Specifies the release channel that this device should be locked to.
If this policy is set to True and the ChromeOsReleaseChannel policy is not specified then users of the enrolling domain will be allowed to change the release channel of the device. If this policy is set to false the device will be locked in whatever channel it was last set.
The user selected channel will be overridden by the ChromeOsReleaseChannel policy, but if the policy channel is more stable than the one that was installed on the device, then the channel will only switch after the version of the more stable channel reaches a higher version number than the one installed on the device.
Enables Chromium to act as a proxy between Google Cloud Print and legacy printers connected to the machine.
If this setting is enabled or not configured, users can enable the cloud print proxy by authentication with their Google account.
If this setting is disabled, users cannot enable the proxy, and the machine will not be allowed to share it's printers with Google Cloud Print.
Enables Chromium to submit documents to Google Cloud Print for printing. NOTE: This only affects Google Cloud Print support in Chromium. It does not prevent users from submitting print jobs on web sites.
If this setting is enabled or not configured, users can print to Google Cloud Print from the Chromium print dialog.
If this setting is disabled, users cannot print to Google Cloud Print from the Chromium print dialog
Enables component updates for all components in Chromium when not set or set to True.
If set to False, updates to components are disabled. However, some components are exempt from this policy: updates to any component that does not contain executable code, or does not significantly alter the behavior of the browser, or is critical for its security will not be disabled. Examples of such components include the certificate revocation lists and Safe Browsing data. See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
Enables the availability of Tap to Search in Chromium's content view.
If you enable this setting, Tap to Search will be available to the user and they can choose to turn the feature on or off.
If you disable this setting, Tap to Search will be disabled completely.
If this policy is left not set, it is equivalent to being enabled, see description above.
If this is set to true or unset, Chromium will suggest pages related to the current page. These suggestions are fetched remotely from Google servers.
If this setting is set to false, suggestions will not be fetched or displayed.
Enable this user to run Crostini.
If the policy is set to false, Crostini is not enabled for the user. If set to true or left unset, Crostini is enabled for the user as long as other settings also allow it. All three policies, VirtualMachinesAllowed, CrostiniAllowed, and DeviceUnaffiliatedCrostiniAllowed need to be true when they apply for Crostini to be allowed to run. When this policy is changed to false, it applies to starting new Crostini containers but does not shut down containers which are already running.
Enable or disable the data compression proxy and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting.
If this policy is left not set, the data compression proxy feature will be available for the user to choose whether to use it or not.
Configures the default browser checks in Chromium and prevents users from changing them.
If you enable this setting, Chromium will always check on startup whether it is the default browser and automatically register itself if possible.
If this setting is disabled, Chromium will never check if it is the default browser and will disable user controls for setting this option.
If this setting is not set, Chromium will allow the user to control whether it is the default browser and whether user notifications should be shown when it isn't.
Configures the default directory that Chromium will use for downloading files.
If you set this policy, it will change the default directory that Chromium downloads files to. This policy is not mandatory, so the user will be able to change the directory.
If you do not set this policy, Chromium will use its usual default directory (platform-specific).
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
Overrides Chromium default printer selection rules.
This policy determines the rules for selecting the default printer in Chromium which happens the first time the print function is used with a profile.
When this policy is set, Chromium will attempt to find a printer matching all of the specified attributes, and select it as default printer. The first printer found matching the policy is selected, in case of non-unique match any matching printer can be selected, depending on the order printers are discovered.
If this policy is not set or matching printer is not found within the timeout, the printer defaults to built-in PDF printer or no printer selected, when PDF printer is not available.
The value is parsed as JSON object, conforming to the following schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "kind": { "description": "Whether to limit the search of the matching printer to a specific set of printers.", "type": "string", "enum": [ "local", "cloud" ] }, "idPattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer id.", "type": "string" }, "namePattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer display name.", "type": "string" } } }
Printers connected to Google Cloud Print are considered "cloud", the rest of the printers are classified as "local". Omitting a field means all values match, for example, not specifying connectivity will cause Print Preview to initiate the discovery of all kinds of printers, local and cloud. Regular expression patterns must follow the JavaScript RegExp syntax and matches are case sensistive.
This policy has no effect on Android apps.
Allows you to control where Developer Tools can be used.
If this policy is set to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowedForForceInstalledExtensions' (value 0, which is the default value), the Developer Tools and the JavaScript console can be accessed in general, but they can not be accessed in the context of extensions installed by enterprise policy. If this policy is set to 'DeveloperToolsAllowed' (value 1), the Developer Tools and the JavaScript console can be accessed and used in all contexts, including the context of extensions installed by enterprise policy. If this policy is set to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowed' (value 2), the Developer Tools can not be accessed and web-site elements can not be inspected anymore. Any keyboard shortcuts and any menu or context menu entries to open the Developer Tools or the JavaScript Console will be disabled.
This policy also controls access to Android Developer Options. If you set this policy to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowed' (value 2), users cannot access Developer Options. If you set this policy to another value or leave it unset, users can access Developer Options by tapping seven times on the build number in the Android settings app.
This policy is deprecated in M68, please use DeveloperToolsAvailability instead.
Disables the Developer Tools and the JavaScript console.
If you enable this setting, the Developer Tools can not be accessed and web-site elements can not be inspected anymore. Any keyboard shortcuts and any menu or context menu entries to open the Developer Tools or the JavaScript Console will be disabled.
Setting this option to disabled or leaving it not set allows the user to use the Developer Tools and the JavaScript console.
If the policy DeveloperToolsAvailability is set, the value of the policy DeveloperToolsDisabled is ignored.
This policy also controls access to Android Developer Options. If you set this policy to true, users cannot access Developer Options. If you set this policy to false or leave it unset, users can access Developer Options by tapping seven times on the build number in the Android settings app.
If this policy is set to false, Chromium OS will disable Bluetooth and the user cannot enable it back.
If this policy is set to true or left unset, the user will be able to enable or disable Bluetooth as they wish.
If this policy is set, the user cannot change or override it.
After enabling Bluetooth, the user must log out and log back in for the changes to take effect (no need for this when disabling Bluetooth).
Controls whether Chromium OS allows new user accounts to be created. If this policy is set to false, users that do not have an account already will not be able to login.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, new user accounts will be allowed to be created provided that DeviceUserWhitelist does not prevent the user from logging in.
This policy controls whether new users can be added to Chromium OS. It does not prevent users from signing in to additional Google accounts within Android. If you want to prevent this, configure the Android-specific accountTypesWithManagementDisabled policy as part of ArcPolicy.
IT admins for enterprise devices can use this flag to control whether to allow users to redeem offers through Chrome OS Registration.
If this policy is set to true or left not set, users will be able to redeem offers through Chrome OS Registration.
If this policy is set to false, user will not be able to redeem offers.
Disables automatic updates when set to True.
Chromium OS devices automatically check for updates when this setting is not configured or set to False.
Warning: It is recommended to keep auto-updates enabled so that users receive software updates and critical security fixes. Turning off auto-updates might leave users at risk.
Specifies whether p2p is to be used for OS update payloads. If set to True, devices will share and attempt to consume update payloads on the LAN, potentially reducing Internet bandwidth usage and congestion. If the update payload is not available on the LAN, the device will fall back to downloading from an update server. If set to False or not configured, p2p will not be used.
This policy controls the time frames during which the Chromium OS device is not allowed to check for updates automatically. When this policy is set to a non-empty list of time intervals: Devices will not be able to check for updates automatically during the specified time intervals. Devices that require a rollback or are below the minimum Chromium OS version will not be affected by this policy due to potential security issues. Furthermore, this policy will not block update checks requested by users or administrators. When this policy is unset or contains no time intervals: No automatic update checks will be blocked by this policy, but they may be blocked by other policies.
Block developer mode.
If this policy is set to True, Chromium OS will prevent the device from booting into developer mode. The system will refuse to boot and show an error screen when the developer switch is turned on.
If this policy is unset or set to False, developer mode will remain available for the device.
This policy controls Chromium OS developer mode only. If you want to prevent access to Android Developer Options, you need to set the DeveloperToolsDisabled policy.
Determines whether data roaming should be enabled for the device. If set to true, data roaming is allowed. If left unconfigured or set to false, data roaming will be not available.
Determines whether Chromium OS keeps local account data after logout. If set to true, no persistent accounts are kept by Chromium OS and all data from the user session will be discarded after logout. If this policy is set to false or not configured, the device may keep (encrypted) local user data.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, Chromium OS will enable guest logins. Guest logins are anonymous user sessions and do not require a password.
If this policy is set to false, Chromium OS will not allow guest sessions to be started.
Sets encryption types that are allowed when requesting Kerberos tickets from an Microsoft® Active Directory® server.
If the policy is set to 'All', both the AES encryption types 'aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96' and 'aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96' as well as the RC4 encryption type 'rc4-hmac' are allowed. AES encryption takes preference if the server supports both types. Note that RC4 is insecure and the server should be reconfigured if possible to support AES encryption.
If the policy is set to 'Strong' or if it is unset, only the AES encryption types are allowed.
If the policy is set to 'Legacy', only the RC4 encryption type is allowed. This option is insecure and should only be needed in very specific circumstances.
See also https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.6_Features_added/changed#Kerberos_client_encryption_types.
Enable bailout keyboard shortcut for auto-login.
If this policy is unset or set to True and a device-local account is configured for zero-delay auto-login, Chromium OS will honor the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+S for bypassing auto-login and showing the login screen.
If this policy is set to False, zero-delay auto-login (if configured) cannot be bypassed.
The public session auto-login delay.
If the |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginId| policy is unset, this policy has no effect. Otherwise:
If this policy is set, it determines the amount of time without user activity that should elapse before automatically logging into the public session specified by the |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginId| policy.
If this policy is unset, 0 milliseconds will be used as the timeout.
This policy is specified in milliseconds.
A public session to auto-login after a delay.
If this policy is set, the specified session will be automatically logged in after a period of time has elapsed at the login screen without user interaction. The public session must already be configured (see |DeviceLocalAccounts|).
If this policy is unset, there will be no auto-login.
If this policy is set to false or left unset, managed guest session will behave as documented in https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3017014 - the standard "Public Session".
If this policy is set to true, managed guest session will take on "Managed Session" behaviour which lifts many of the restrictions that are in place for regular "Public Sessions".
If this policy is set, the user cannot change or override it.
Enable network configuration prompt when offline.
If this policy is unset or set to True and a device-local account is configured for zero-delay auto-login and the device does not have access to the Internet, Chromium OS will show a network configuration prompt.
If this policy is set to False, an error message will be displayed instead of the network configuration prompt.
Specifies the list of device-local accounts to be shown on the login screen.
Every list entry specifies an identifier, which is used internally to tell the different device-local accounts apart.
Specifies a list of apps that are installed silently on the login screen, without user interaction, and which cannot be uninstalled. All permissions requested by the apps are granted implicitly, without user interaction, including any additional permissions requested by future versions of the app.
Note that, for security and privacy reasons, extensions are not allowed to be installed using this policy. Moreover, the devices on the Stable channel will only install the apps that belong to the whitelist bundled into Chromium. Any items that don't conform to these conditions will be ignored.
If an app that previously had been force-installed is removed from this list, it is automatically uninstalled by Chromium.
Each list item of the policy is a string that contains an extension ID and an "update" URL separated by a semicolon (;). The extension ID is the 32-letter string found e.g. on chrome://extensions when in developer mode. The "update" URL should point to an Update Manifest XML document as described at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/autoupdate. Note that the "update" URL set in this policy is only used for the initial installation; subsequent updates of the extension employ the update URL indicated in the extension's manifest.
For example, gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx installs the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the standard Chrome Web Store "update" URL. For more information about hosting extensions, see: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/hosting.
Allows you to specify a list of url patterns that specify sites for which a client certificate is automatically selected on the sign-in screen in the frame hosting the SAML flow, if the site requests a certificate. An example usage is to configure a device-wide certificate to be presented to the SAML IdP.
The value must be an array of stringified JSON dictionaries. Each dictionary must have the form { "pattern": "$URL_PATTERN", "filter" : $FILTER }, where $URL_PATTERN is a content setting pattern. $FILTER restricts from which client certificates the browser will automatically select. Independent of the filter, only certificates will be selected that match the server's certificate request. If $FILTER has the form { "ISSUER": { "CN": "$ISSUER_CN" } }, additionally only client certificates are selected that are issued by a certificate with the CommonName $ISSUER_CN. If $FILTER is the empty dictionary {}, the selection of client certificates is not additionally restricted.
If this policy is left not set, no auto-selection will be done for any site.
If this policy is set to a blank string or not configured, Chromium OS will not show an autocomplete option during user sign-in flow. If this policy is set to a string representing a domain name, Chromium OS will show an autocomplete option during user sign-in allowing the user to type in only their user name without the domain name extension. The user will be able to overwrite this domain name extension.
Configures which keyboard layouts are allowed on the Chromium OS sign-in screen.
If this policy is set to a list of input method identifiers, the given input methods will be available on the sign-in screen. The first given input method will be preselected. While a user pod is focused on the sign-in screen, the user's last used input method will be available in addition to the input methods given by this policy. If this policy is not set, the input methods on the sign-in screen will be derived from the locale in which the sign-in screen is displayed. Values which are not valid input method identifiers will be ignored.
This policy applies to the sign-in screen. Please see also the IsolateOrigins policy which applies to the user session. It is recommended to set both policies to the same value. If the values don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied. If the policy is enabled, each of the named origins in a comma-separated list will run in its own process. This will also isolate origins named by subdomains; e.g. specifying https://example.com/ will also cause https://foo.example.com/ to be isolated as part of the https://example.com/ site. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable IsolateOrigins manually. If the policy is not configured, the platform default site isolation settings will be used for the sign-in screen.
Configures the locale which is enforced on the Chromium OS sign-in screen.
If this policy is set, the sign-in screen will always be displayed in the locale which is given by the first value of this policy (the policy is defined as a list for forward compatibility). If this policy is not set or is set to an empty list, the sign-in screen will be displayed in the locale of the last user session. If this policy is set to a value which is not a valid locale, the sign-in screen will be displayed in a fallback locale (currently, en-US).
Configure power management on the login screen in Chromium OS.
This policy lets you configure how Chromium OS behaves when there is no user activity for some amount of time while the login screen is being shown. The policy controls multiple settings. For their individual semantics and value ranges, see the corresponding policies that control power management within a session. The only deviations from these policies are: * The actions to take on idle or lid close cannot be to end the session. * The default action taken on idle when running on AC power is to shut down.
If a setting is left unspecified, a default value is used.
If this policy is unset, defaults are used for all settings.
This policy applies to the sign-in screen. Please see also the SitePerProcess policy which applies to the user session. It is recommended to set both policies to the same value. If the values don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied. You might want to look at the IsolateOrigins policy setting to get the best of both worlds, isolation and limited impact for users, by using IsolateOrigins with a list of the sites you want to isolate. This setting, SitePerProcess, isolates all sites. If the policy is enabled, each site will run in its own process. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable SitePerProcess manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting.
Specifies the rate (in days) at which a client changes their machine account password. The password is randomly generated by the client and not visible to the user.
Just like user passwords, machine passwords should be changed regularly. Disabling this policy or setting a high number of days can have a negative impact on security since it gives potential attackers more time to find the machine account password and use it.
If the policy is unset, the machine account password is changed every 30 days.
If the policy is set to 0, machine account password change is disabled.
Note that passwords might get older than the specified number of days if the client has been offline for a longer period of time.
Controls whether usage metrics and diagnostic data, including crash reports, are reported back to Google.
If set to true, Chromium OS will report usage metrics and diagnostic data.
If set to false, metrics and diagnostic data reporting will be disabled.
If not configured, metrics and diagnostic data reporting will be disabled on unmanaged devices and enabled on managed devices.
This policy also controls Android usage and diagnostic data collection.
Provides configurations for enterprise printers bound to devices.
This policy allows you to provide printer configurations to Chromium OS devices. The format is the same as the NativePrinters dictionary, with an additional required "id" or "guid" field per printer for whitelisting or blacklisting.
The size of the file must not exceed 5MB and must be encoded in JSON. It is estimated that a file containing approximately 21,000 printers will encode as a 5MB file. The cryptographic hash is used to verify the integrity of the download.
The file is downloaded and cached. It will be re-downloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.
If this policy is set, Chromium OS will download the file for printer configurations and make printers available in accordance with DeviceNativePrintersAccessMode, DeviceNativePrintersWhitelist, and DeviceNativePrintersBlacklist.
This policy has no effect on whether users can configure printers on individual devices. It is intended to be supplementary to the configuration of printers by individual users.
This policy is additive to the NativePrintersBulkConfiguration.
If this policy is unset, there will be no device printers and the other DeviceNativePrinter* policies will be ignored.
Controls which printers from the DeviceNativePrinters are available to users.
Designates which access policy is used for bulk printer configuration. If AllowAll is selected, all printers are shown. If BlacklistRestriction is selected, DeviceNativePrintersBlacklist is used to restrict access to the specified printers. If WhitelistPrintersOnly is selected, DeviceNativePrintersWhitelist designates only those printers which are selectable.
If this policy is not set, AllowAll is assumed.
Specifies the printers which a user cannot use.
This policy is only used if BlacklistRestriction is chosen for DeviceNativePrintersAccessMode.
If this policy is used, all printers are provided to the user except for the ids listed in this policy. The ids must correspond to the "id" or "guid" fields in the file specified in DeviceNativePrinters.
Specifies the printers which a user can use.
This policy is only used if WhitelistPrintersOnly is chosen for DeviceNativePrintersAccessMode
If this policy is used, only the printers with ids matching the values in this policy are available to the user. The ids must correspond to the "id" or "guid" fields in the file specified in DeviceNativePrinters.
If "OffHours" policy is set, then the specified device policies are ignored (use the default settings of these policies) during the defined time intervals. Device policies are re-applied by Chrome on every event when "OffHours" period starts or ends. User will be notified and forced to sign out when "OffHours" time end and device policy settings are changed (e.g. when user is logged in not with an allowed account).
Allows pushing network configuration to be applied for all users of a Chromium OS device. The network configuration is a JSON-formatted string as defined by the Open Network Configuration format described at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/open-network-configuration
Android apps can use the network configurations and CA certificates set via this policy, but do not have access to some configuration options.
Specifies the period in milliseconds at which the device management service is queried for device policy information.
Setting this policy overrides the default value of 3 hours. Valid values for this policy are in the range from 1800000 (30 minutes) to 86400000 (1 day). Any values not in this range will be clamped to the respective boundary.
Leaving this policy not set will make Chromium OS use the default value of 3 hours.
Note that if the platform supports policy notifications, the refresh delay will be set to 24 hours (ignoring all defaults and the value of this policy) because it is expected that policy notifications will force a refresh automatically whenever policy changes, making more frequent refreshes unnecessary.
The Quirks Server provides hardware-specific configuration files, like ICC display profiles to adjust monitor calibration.
When this policy is set to false, the device will not attempt to contact the Quirks Server to download configuration files.
If this policy is true or not configured then Chromium OS will automatically contact the Quirks Server and download configuration files, if available, and store them on the device. Such files might, for example, be used to improve display quality of attached monitors.
If this policy is set to false or not configured, Chromium OS will allow the user to shut down the device. If this policy is set to true, Chromium OS will trigger a reboot when the user shuts down the device. Chromium OS replaces all occurrences of shutdown buttons in the UI by reboot buttons. If the user shuts down the device using the power button, it will not automatically reboot, even if the policy is enabled.
Specifies the minimum number of Chromium OS milestones rollback should be allowed starting from the stable version at any time.
Default is 0 for consumer, 4 (approx. half a year) for enterprise enrolled devices.
Setting this policy prevents rollback protection to apply for at least this number of milestones.
Setting this policy to a lower value has a permanent effect: the device MAY not be able to roll back to earlier versions even after the policy is reset to a larger value.
Actual rollback possibilities may also depend on the board and critical vulnerability patches.
Specifies whether the device should roll back to the version set by DeviceTargetVersionPrefix if it's already running a later version.
Default is RollbackDisabled.
Specifies how the on-board secure element hardware can be used to provide a second-factor authentication if it is compatible with this feature. The machine power button is used to detect the user physical presence.
If 'Disabled' is selected, no second factor is provided.
If 'U2F' is selected, the integrated second factor will behave according the FIDO U2F specification.
If 'U2F_EXTENDED' is selected, the integrated second factor will provide the U2F functions plus some extensions for individual attestation.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, Chromium OS will show existing users on the login screen and allow to pick one.
If this policy is set to false, Chromium OS will not show existing users on the login screen. The normal sign-in screen (prompting for the user email and password or phone) or the SAML interstital screen (if enabled via the LoginAuthenticationBehavior policy) will be shown, unless a Public Session is configured. When a Public Session is configured, only the Public Session accounts will be shown, allowing to pick one of them.
Note that this policy does not affect whether the device keeps or discards the local user data.
Sets a target version for Auto Updates.
Specifies the prefix of a target version Chromium OS should update to. If the device is running a version that's before the specified prefix, it will update to the latest version with the given prefix. If the device is already on a later version, effects depend on the value of DeviceRollbackToTargetVersion. The prefix format works component-wise as is demonstrated in the following example:
"" (or not configured): update to latest version available. "1412.": update to any minor version of 1412 (e.g. 1412.24.34 or 1412.60.2) "1412.2.": update to any minor version of 1412.2 (e.g. 1412.2.34 or 1412.2.2) "1412.24.34": update to this specific version only
Warning: It is not recommended to configure version restrictions as they may prevent users from receiving software updates and critical security fixes. Restricting updates to a specific version prefix might leave users at risk.
Specifies whether authentication cookies set by a SAML IdP during login should be transferred to the user's profile.
When a user authenticates via a SAML IdP during login, cookies set by the IdP are written to a temporary profile at first. These cookies can be transferred to the user's profile to carry forward the authentication state.
When this policy is set to true, cookies set by the IdP are transferred to the user's profile every time they authenticate against the SAML IdP during login.
When this policy is set to false or unset, cookies set by the IdP are transferred to the user's profile during their first login on a device only.
This policy affects users whose domain matches the device's enrollment domain only. For all other users, cookies set by the IdP are transferred to the user's profile during their first login on the device only.
Cookies transferred to the user's profile are not accessible to Android apps.
If the policy is set to false, unaffiliated users will not be allowed to use Crostini.
If the policy is unset or set to true, all users are allowed to use Crostini as long as other settings also allow it. All three policies, VirtualMachinesAllowed, CrostiniAllowed, and DeviceUnaffiliatedCrostiniAllowed need to be true when they apply for Crostini to be allowed to run. When this policy is changed to false, it applies to starting new Crostini containers but does not shut down containers which are already running.
The types of connections that are allowed to use for OS updates. OS updates potentially put heavy strain on the connection due to their size and may incur additional cost. Therefore, they are by default not enabled for connection types that are considered expensive, which include WiMax, Bluetooth and Cellular at the moment.
The recognized connection type identifiers are "ethernet", "wifi", "wimax", "bluetooth" and "cellular".
Auto-update payloads on Chromium OS can be downloaded via HTTP instead of HTTPS. This allows transparent HTTP caching of HTTP downloads.
If this policy is set to true, Chromium OS will attempt to download auto-update payloads via HTTP. If the policy is set to false or not set, HTTPS will be used for downloading auto-update payloads.
Specifies the number of seconds up to which a device may randomly delay its download of an update from the time the update was first pushed out to the server. The device may wait a portion of this time in terms of wall-clock-time and the remaining portion in terms of the number of update checks. In any case, the scatter is upper bounded to a constant amount of time so that a device does not ever get stuck waiting to download an update forever.
This policy defines a list of percentages that will define the fraction of Chromium OS devices in the OU to update per day starting from the day the update is first discovered. The discovery time is later than the update published time, since it could be a while after the update publishing until the device checks for updates.
Each (day, percentage) pair contains which percentage of the fleet has to be updated by the given number of days since the update has been discovered. For example, if we have the pairs [(4, 40), (10, 70), (15, 100)], then 40% of the fleet should have been updated 4 days after seeing the update. 70% should be updated after 10 days, and so on.
If there is a value defined for this policy, updates will ignore the DeviceUpdateScatterFactor policy and follow this policy instead.
If this list is empty, there will be no staging and updates will be applied according to other device policies.
This policy does not apply for channel switches.
Specifies whether and how user policy from computer GPO is processed.
If the policy is set to 'Default' or if it is unset, user policy is read only from user GPOs (computer GPOs are ignored).
If the policy is set to 'Merge', user policy in user GPOs is merged with user policy in computer GPOs (computer GPOs take preference).
If the policy is set to 'Replace', user policy in user GPOs is replaced by user policy in computer GPOs (user GPOs are ignored).
Defines the list of users that are allowed to login to the device. Entries are of the form user@domain, such as madmax@managedchrome.com. To allow arbitrary users on a domain, use entries of the form *@domain.
If this policy is not configured, there are no restrictions on which users are allowed to sign in. Note that creating new users still requires the DeviceAllowNewUsers policy to be configured appropriately.
This policy controls who may start a Chromium OS session. It does not prevent users from signing in to additional Google accounts within Android. If you want to prevent this, configure the Android-specific accountTypesWithManagementDisabled policy as part of ArcPolicy.
Configure device-level wallpaper image that is shown on the login screen if no user has yet signed in to the device. The policy is set by specifying the URL from which the Chrome OS device can download the wallpaper image and a cryptographic hash used to verify the integrity of the download. The image must be in JPEG format, its file size must not exceed 16MB. The URL must be accessible without any authentication. The wallpaper image is downloaded and cached. It will be re-downloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.
The policy should be speicified as a string that expresses the URL and hash in JSON format, e.g., { "url": "https://example.com/device_wallpaper.jpg", "hash": "examplewallpaperhash" }
If the device wallpaper policy is set, the Chrome OS device will download and use the wallpaper image on the login screen if no user has yet signed in to the device. Once the user logs in, the user's wallpaper policy kicks in.
If the device wallpaper policy is left not set, it's the user's wallpaper policy to decide what to show if the user's wallpaper policy is set.
Enabling this setting prevents web pages from accessing the graphics processing unit (GPU). Specifically, web pages can not access the WebGL API and plugins can not use the Pepper 3D API.
Disabling this setting or leaving it not set potentially allows web pages to use the WebGL API and plugins to use the Pepper 3D API. The default settings of the browser may still require command line arguments to be passed in order to use these APIs.
If HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled is set to false, Disable3DAPIs is ignored and it is equivalent to Disable3DAPIs being set to true.
Show the system print dialog instead of print preview.
When this setting is enabled, Chromium will open the system print dialog instead of the built-in print preview when a user requests a page to be printed.
If this policy is not set or is set to false, print commands trigger the print preview screen.
The Safe Browsing service shows a warning page when users navigate to sites that are flagged as potentially malicious. Enabling this setting prevents users from proceeding anyway from the warning page to the malicious site.
If this setting is disabled or not configured then users can choose to proceed to the flagged site after being shown the warning.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
If enabled, screenshots cannot be taken using keyboard shortcuts or extension APIs.
If disabled or not specified, taking screenshots is allowed.
This policy is deprecated. Please use the DefaultPluginsSetting to control the avalability of the Flash plugin and AlwaysOpenPdfExternally to control whether the integrated PDF viewer should be used for opening PDF files.
Specifies a list of plugins that are disabled in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
The wildcard characters '*' and '?' can be used to match sequences of arbitrary characters. '*' matches an arbitrary number of characters while '?' specifies an optional single character, i.e. matches zero or one characters. The escape character is '\', so to match actual '*', '?', or '\' characters, you can put a '\' in front of them.
If you enable this setting, the specified list of plugins is never used in Chromium. The plugins are marked as disabled in 'about:plugins' and users cannot enable them.
Note that this policy can be overridden by EnabledPlugins and DisabledPluginsExceptions.
If this policy is left not set the user can use any plugin installed on the system except for hard-coded incompatible, outdated or dangerous plugins.
This policy is deprecated. Please use the DefaultPluginsSetting to control the avalability of the Flash plugin and AlwaysOpenPdfExternally to control whether the integrated PDF viewer should be used for opening PDF files.
Specifies a list of plugins that user can enable or disable in Chromium.
The wildcard characters '*' and '?' can be used to match sequences of arbitrary characters. '*' matches an arbitrary number of characters while '?' specifies an optional single character, i.e. matches zero or one characters. The escape character is '\', so to match actual '*', '?', or '\' characters, you can put a '\' in front of them.
If you enable this setting, the specified list of plugins can be used in Chromium. Users can enable or disable them in 'about:plugins', even if the plugin also matches a pattern in DisabledPlugins. Users can also enable and disable plugins that don't match any patterns in DisabledPlugins, DisabledPluginsExceptions and EnabledPlugins.
This policy is meant to allow for strict plugin blacklisting where the 'DisabledPlugins' list contains wildcarded entries like disable all plugins '*' or disable all Java plugins '*Java*' but the administrator wishes to enable some particular version like 'IcedTea Java 2.3'. This particular versions can be specified in this policy.
Note that both the plugin name and the plugin's group name have to be exempted. Each plugin group is shown in a separate section in about:plugins; each section may have one or more plugins. For example, the "Shockwave Flash" plugin belongs to the "Adobe Flash Player" group, and both names have to have a match in the exceptions list if that plugin is to be exempted from the blacklist.
If this policy is left not set any plugin that matches the patterns in the 'DisabledPlugins' will be locked disabled and the user won't be able to enable them.
This policy is deprecated, please use URLBlacklist instead.
Disables the listed protocol schemes in Chromium.
URLs using a scheme from this list will not load and can not be navigated to.
If this policy is left not set or the list is empty all schemes will be accessible in Chromium.
Configures the directory that Chromium will use for storing cached files on the disk.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided directory regardless whether the user has specified the '--disk-cache-dir' flag or not. To avoid data loss or other unexpected errors this policy should not be set to a volume's root directory or to a directory used for other purposes, because Chromium manages its contents.
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
If this policy is left not set the default cache directory will be used and the user will be able to override it with the '--disk-cache-dir' command line flag.
Configures the cache size that Chromium will use for storing cached files on the disk.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided cache size regardless whether the user has specified the '--disk-cache-size' flag or not. The value specified in this policy is not a hard boundary but rather a suggestion to the caching system, any value below a few megabytes is too small and will be rounded up to a sane minimum.
If the value of this policy is 0, the default cache size will be used but the user will not be able to change it.
If this policy is not set the default size will be used and the user will be able to override it with the --disk-cache-size flag.
If this policy is set, each display is rotated to the specified orientation on every reboot, and the first time it is connected after the policy value has changed. Users may change the display rotation via the settings page after logging in, but their setting will be overridden by the policy value at the next reboot.
This policy applies to both the primary and all secondary displays.
If the policy is not set, the default value is 0 degrees and the user is free to change it. In this case, the default value is not reapplied at restart.
Configures the directory that Chromium will use for downloading files.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided directory regardless whether the user has specified one or enabled the flag to be prompted for download location every time.
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
If this policy is left not set the default download directory will be used and the user will be able to change it.
This policy has no effect on Android apps. Android apps always use the default downloads directory and cannot access any files downloaded by Chromium OS into a non-default downloads directory.
Configures the type of downloads that Chromium will completely block, without letting users override the security decision.
If you set this policy, Chromium will prevent certain types of downloads, and won't let user bypass the security warnings.
When the 'Block dangerous downloads' option is chosen, all downloads are allowed, except for those that carry Safe Browsing warnings.
When the 'Block potentially dangerous downloads' option is chosen, all downloads allowed, except for those that carry Safe Browsing warnings of potentially dangerous downloads.
When the 'Block all downloads' option is chosen, all downloads are blocked.
When this policy is not set, (or the 'No special restrictions' option is chosen), the downloads will go through the usual security restrictions based on Safe Browsing analysis results.
Note that these restrictions apply to downloads triggered from web page content, as well as the 'download link...' context menu option. These restrictions do not apply to the save / download of the currently displayed page, nor does it apply to saving as PDF from the printing options.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
If you enable this setting, users will be allowed to use Smart Lock if the requirements for the feature are satisfied.
If you disable this setting, users will not be allowed to use Smart Lock.
If this policy is left not set, the default is not allowed for enterprise-managed users and allowed for non-managed users.
Specifies the action that should be taken when the user's home directory was created with ecryptfs encryption and needs to transition to ext4 encryption.
If you set this policy to 'DisallowArc', Android apps will be disabled for the user and no migration from ecryptfs to ext4 encryption will be performed. Android apps will not be prevented from running when the home directory is already ext4-encrypted.
If you set this policy to 'Migrate', ecryptfs-encrypted home directories will be automatically migrated to ext4 encryption on sign-in without asking for user consent.
If you set this policy to 'Wipe', ecryptfs-encrypted home directories will be deleted on sign-in and new ext4-encrypted home directories will be created instead. Warning: This removes the user's local data.
If you set this policy to 'AskUser', users with ecryptfs-encrypted home directories will be offered to migrate.
This policy does not apply to kiosk users. If this policy is left not set, the device will behave as if 'DisallowArc' was chosen.
If you enable this setting, bookmarks can be added, removed or modified. This is the default also when this policy is not set.
If you disable this setting, bookmarks can not be added, removed or modified. Existing bookmarks are still available.
Specify a list of deprecated web platform features to re-enable temporarily.
This policy gives administrators the ability to re-enable deprecated web platform features for a limited time. Features are identified by a string tag and the features corresponding to the tags included in the list specified by this policy will get re-enabled.
If this policy is left not set, or the list is empty or does not match one of the supported string tags, all deprecated web platform features will remain disabled.
While the policy itself is supported on the above platforms, the feature it is enabling may be available on fewer platforms. Not all deprecated Web Platform features can be re-enabled. Only the ones explicitly listed below can be for a limited period of time, which is different per feature. The general format of the string tag will be [DeprecatedFeatureName]_EffectiveUntil[yyyymmdd]. As reference, you can find the intent behind the Web Platform feature changes at https://bit.ly/blinkintents.
In light of the fact that soft-fail, online revocation checks provide no effective security benefit, they are disabled by default in Chromium version 19 and later. By setting this policy to true, the previous behavior is restored and online OCSP/CRL checks will be performed.
If the policy is not set, or is set to false, then Chromium will not perform online revocation checks in Chromium 19 and later.
When this setting is enabled, Chromium allows SHA-1 signed certificates as long as they successfully validate and chain to a locally-installed CA certificates.
Note that this policy depends on the operating system certificate verification stack allowing SHA-1 signatures. If an OS update changes the OS handling of SHA-1 certificates, this policy may no longer have effect. Further, this policy is intended as a temporary workaround to give enterprises more time to move away from SHA-1. This policy will be removed on or around January 1st 2019.
If this policy is not set, or it is set to false, then Chromium follows the publicly announced SHA-1 deprecation schedule.
When this setting is enabled, Chromium allows certificates issued by Symantec Corporation's Legacy PKI operations to be trusted if they otherwise successfully validate and chain to a recognized CA certificate.
Note that this policy depends on the operating system still recognizing certificates from Symantec's legacy infrastructure. If an OS update changes the OS handling of such certificates, this policy no longer has effect. Further, this policy is intended as a temporary workaround to give enterprises more time to transition away from legacy Symantec certificates. This policy will be removed on or around January 1st 2019.
If this policy is not set, or it is set to false, then Chromium follows the publicly announced deprecation schedule.
See https://g.co/chrome/symantecpkicerts for more details on this deprecation.
This policy controls if Sync Consent can be shown to the user during first sign-in. It should be set to false if Sync Consent is never needed for the user. If set to false, Sync Consent will not be displayed. If set to true or unset, Sync Consent can be displayed.
This policy is deprecated. Please use the DefaultPluginsSetting to control the avalability of the Flash plugin and AlwaysOpenPdfExternally to control whether the integrated PDF viewer should be used for opening PDF files.
Specifies a list of plugins that are enabled in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
The wildcard characters '*' and '?' can be used to match sequences of arbitrary characters. '*' matches an arbitrary number of characters while '?' specifies an optional single character, i.e. matches zero or one characters. The escape character is '\', so to match actual '*', '?', or '\' characters, you can put a '\' in front of them.
The specified list of plugins is always used in Chromium if they are installed. The plugins are marked as enabled in 'about:plugins' and users cannot disable them.
Note that this policy overrides both DisabledPlugins and DisabledPluginsExceptions.
If this policy is left not set the user can disable any plugin installed on the system.
Chromium OS caches Apps and Extensions for installation by multiple users of a single device to avoid re-downloading them for each user. If this policy is not configured or the value is lower than 1 MB, Chromium OS will use the default cache size.
The cache is not used for Android apps. If multiple users install the same Android app, it will be downloaded anew for each user.
When this policy is set to true, external storage will not be available in the file browser.
This policy affects all types of storage media. For example: USB flash drives, external hard drives, SD and other memory cards, optical storage etc. Internal storage is not affected, therefore files saved in the Download folder can still be accessed. Google Drive is also not affected by this policy.
If this setting is disabled or not configured then users can use all supported types of external storage on their device.
When this policy is set to true, users cannot write anything to external storage devices.
If this setting is set to false or not configured, then users can create and modify files of external storage devices which are physically writable.
The ExternalStorageDisabled policy takes precedence over this policy - if ExternalStorageDisabled is set to true, then all access to external storage is disabled and this policy is consequently ignored.
Dynamic refresh of this policy is supported in M56 and later.
This policy is deprecated, consider using BrowserSignin instead.
If this policy is set to true, user has to sign in to Chromium with their profile before using the browser. And the default value of BrowserGuestModeEnabled will be set to false. Note that existing unsigned profiles will be locked and inaccessible after enabling this policy. For more information, see help center article.
If this policy is set to false or not configured, user can use the browser without sign in to Chromium.
If set to enabled this policy forces the profile to be switched to ephemeral mode. If this policy is specified as an OS policy (e.g. GPO on Windows) it will apply to every profile on the system; if the policy is set as a Cloud policy it will apply only to a profile signed in with a managed account.
In this mode the profile data is persisted on disk only for the length of the user session. Features like browser history, extensions and their data, web data like cookies and web databases are not preserved after the browser is closed. However this does not prevent the user from downloading any data to disk manually, save pages or print them.
If the user has enabled sync all this data is preserved in their sync profile just like with regular profiles. Incognito mode is also available if not explicitly disabled by policy.
If the policy is set to disabled or left not set signing in leads to regular profiles.
Forces queries in Google Web Search to be done with SafeSearch set to active and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable this setting, SafeSearch in Google Search is always active.
If you disable this setting or do not set a value, SafeSearch in Google Search is not enforced.
If this policy is set to true, Chromium will unconditionally maximize the first window shown on first run. If this policy is set to false or not configured, the decision whether to maximize the first window shown will be based on the screen size.
This policy is deprecated, please use ForceGoogleSafeSearch and ForceYouTubeRestrict instead. This policy is ignored if either the ForceGoogleSafeSearch, the ForceYouTubeRestrict or the (deprecated) ForceYouTubeSafetyMode policies are set.
Forces queries in Google Web Search to be done with SafeSearch set to active and prevents users from changing this setting. This setting also forces Moderate Restricted Mode on YouTube.
If you enable this setting, SafeSearch in Google Search and Moderate Restricted Mode YouTube is always active.
If you disable this setting or do not set a value, SafeSearch in Google Search and Restricted Mode in YouTube is not enforced.
Enforces a minimum Restricted Mode on YouTube and prevents users from picking a less restricted mode.
If this setting is set to Strict, Strict Restricted Mode on YouTube is always active.
If this setting is set to Moderate, the user may only pick Moderate Restricted Mode and Strict Restricted Mode on YouTube, but cannot disable Restricted Mode.
If this setting is set to Off or no value is set, Restricted Mode on YouTube is not enforced by Chromium. External policies such as YouTube policies might still enforce Restricted Mode, though.
This policy has no effect on the Android YouTube app. If Safety Mode on YouTube should be enforced, installation of the Android YouTube app should be disallowed.
This policy is deprecated. Consider using ForceYouTubeRestrict, which overrides this policy and allows more fine-grained tuning.
Forces YouTube Moderate Restricted Mode and prevents users from changing this setting.
If this setting is enabled, Restricted Mode on YouTube is always enforced to be at least Moderate.
If this setting is disabled or no value is set, Restricted Mode on YouTube is not enforced by Chromium. External policies such as YouTube policies might still enforce Restricted Mode, though.
This policy has no effect on the Android YouTube app. If Safety Mode on YouTube should be enforced, installation of the Android YouTube app should be disallowed.
This policy controls the availability of fullscreen mode in which all Chromium UI is hidden and only web content is visible.
If this policy is set to true or not not configured, the user, apps and extensions with appropriate permissions can enter fullscreen mode.
If this policy is set to false, neither the user nor any apps or extensions can enter fullscreen mode.
On all platforms except Chromium OS, kiosk mode is unavailable when fullscreen mode is disabled.
This policy has no effect on the Android apps. They will be able to enter fullscreen mode even if this policy is set to False.
If this policy is set to true or left unset, hardware acceleration will be enabled unless a certain GPU feature is blacklisted.
If this policy is set to false, hardware acceleration will be disabled.
Send network packets to the management server to monitor online status, to allow the server to detect if the device is offline.
If this policy is set to true, monitoring network packets (so-called heartbeats) will be sent. If set to false or unset, no packets will be sent.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
How frequently monitoring network packets are sent, in milliseconds.
If this policy is unset, the default interval is 3 minutes. The minimum interval is 30 seconds and the maximum interval is 24 hours - values outside of this range will be clamped to this range.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Hide the Chrome Web Store app and footer link from the New Tab Page and Chromium OS app launcher.
When this policy is set to true, the icons are hidden.
When this policy is set to false or is not configured, the icons are visible.
This policy enables HTTP/0.9 on ports other than 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
This policy is disabled by default, and if enabled, leaves users open to the security issue https://crbug.com/600352.
This policy is intended to give enterprises a chance to migrate exising servers off of HTTP/0.9, and will be removed in the future.
If this policy is not set, HTTP/0.9 will be disabled on non-default ports.
This policy forces the autofill form data to be imported from the previous default browser if enabled. If enabled, this policy also affects the import dialog.
If disabled, the autofill form data is not imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy forces bookmarks to be imported from the current default browser if enabled. If enabled, this policy also affects the import dialog.
If disabled, no bookmarks are imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy forces the browsing history to be imported from the current default browser if enabled. If enabled, this policy also affects the import dialog.
If disabled, no browsing history is imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy forces the home page to be imported from the current default browser if enabled.
If disabled, the home page is not imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy forces the saved passwords to be imported from the previous default browser if enabled. If enabled, this policy also affects the import dialog.
If disabled, the saved passwords are not imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy forces search engines to be imported from the current default browser if enabled. If enabled, this policy also affects the import dialog.
If disabled, the default search engine is not imported.
If it is not set, the user may be asked whether to import, or importing may happen automatically.
This policy is deprecated. Please, use IncognitoModeAvailability instead. Enables Incognito mode in Chromium.
If this setting is enabled or not configured, users can open web pages in incognito mode.
If this setting is disabled, users cannot open web pages in incognito mode.
If this policy is left not set, this will be enabled and the user will be able to use incognito mode.
Specifies whether the user may open pages in Incognito mode in Chromium.
If 'Enabled' is selected or the policy is left unset, pages may be opened in Incognito mode.
If 'Disabled' is selected, pages may not be opened in Incognito mode.
If 'Forced' is selected, pages may be opened ONLY in Incognito mode.
If this setting is enabled, users will be allowed to use Instant Tethering, which allows their Google phone to share its mobile data with their device.
If this setting is disabled, users will not be allowed to use Instant Tethering.
If this policy is left not set, the default is not allowed for enterprise-managed users and allowed for non-managed users.
If the policy is enabled, each of the named origins in a comma-separated list will run in its own process. This will also isolate origins named by subdomains; e.g. specifying https://example.com/ will also cause https://foo.example.com/ to be isolated as part of the https://example.com/ site. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable IsolateOrigins manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting. On Chromium OS, it is recommended to also set the DeviceLoginScreenIsolateOrigins device policy to the same value. If the values specified by the two policies don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied.
NOTE: This policy does not apply on Android. To enable IsolateOrigins on Android, use the IsolateOriginsAndroid policy setting.
If the policy is enabled, each of the named origins in a comma-separated list will run in its own process. This will also isolate origins named by subdomains; e.g. specifying https://example.com/ will also cause https://foo.example.com/ to be isolated as part of the https://example.com/ site. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOriginsAndroid and SitePerProcessAndroid will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable IsolateOrigins manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting.
NOTE: On Android, Site Isolation is experimental. Support will improve over time, but currently it may cause performance problems.
NOTE: This policy applies only to Chrome on Android running on devices with strictly more than 1GB of RAM. To apply the policy on non-Android platforms, use IsolateOrigins.
This policy is deprecated, please use DefaultJavaScriptSetting instead.
Can be used to disabled JavaScript in Chromium.
If this setting is disabled, web pages cannot use JavaScript and the user cannot change that setting.
If this setting is enabled or not set, web pages can use JavaScript but the user can change that setting.
Grants access to corporate keys to extensions.
Keys are designated for corporate usage if they're generated using the chrome.enterprise.platformKeys API on a managed account. Keys imported or generated in another way are not designated for corporate usage.
Access to keys designated for corporate usage is solely controlled by this policy. The user can neither grant nor withdraw access to corporate keys to or from extensions.
By default an extension cannot use a key designated for corporate usage, which is equivalent to setting allowCorporateKeyUsage to false for that extension.
Only if allowCorporateKeyUsage is set to true for an extension, it can use any platform key marked for corporate usage to sign arbitrary data. This permission should only be granted if the extension is trusted to secure access to the key against attackers.
Android apps cannot get access to corporate keys. This policy has no effect on them.
Send system logs to the management server, to allow admins to monitor system logs.
If this policy is set to true, system logs will be sent. If set to false or unset, then no system logs will be sent.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
When this policy is set, the login authentication flow will be in one of the following ways depending on the value of the setting:
If set to GAIA, login will be done via the normal GAIA authentication flow.
If set to SAML_INTERSTITIAL, login will show an interstitial screen offering the user to go forward with authentication via the SAML IdP of the device's enrollment domain, or go back to the normal GAIA login flow.
Patterns in this list will be matched against the security origin of the requesting URL. If a match is found, access to video capture devices will be granted on SAML login pages. If no match is found, access will be automatically denied. Wildcard patterns are not allowed.
If this policy is set, Chromium will try to register itself and apply associated cloud policy for all profiles.
The value of this policy is an Enrollment token that can be retrieved from the Google Admin console.
Configures a list of managed bookmarks.
The policy consists of a list of bookmarks whereas each bookmark is a dictionary containing the keys "name" and "url" which hold the bookmark's name and its target. A subfolder may be configured by defining a bookmark without an "url" key but with an additional "children" key which itself contains a list of bookmarks as defined above (some of which may be folders again). Chromium amends incomplete URLs as if they were submitted via the Omnibox, for example "google.com" becomes "https://google.com/".
These bookmarks are placed in a folder that can't be modified by the user (but the user can choose to hide it from the bookmark bar). By default the folder name is "Managed bookmarks" but it can be customized by adding to the list of bookmarks a dictionary containing the key "toplevel_name" with the desired folder name as the value.
Managed bookmarks are not synced to the user account and can't be modified by extensions.
Specifies the maximal number of simultaneous connections to the proxy server.
Some proxy servers can not handle high number of concurrent connections per client and this can be solved by setting this policy to a lower value.
The value of this policy should be lower than 100 and higher than 6 and the default value is 32.
Some web apps are known to consume many connections with hanging GETs, so lowering below 32 may lead to browser networking hangs if too many such web apps are open. Lower below the default at your own risk.
If this policy is left not set the default value will be used which is 32.
Specifies the maximum delay in milliseconds between receiving a policy invalidation and fetching the new policy from the device management service.
Setting this policy overrides the default value of 5000 milliseconds. Valid values for this policy are in the range from 1000 (1 second) to 300000 (5 minutes). Any values not in this range will be clamped to the respective boundary.
Leaving this policy not set will make Chromium use the default value of 5000 milliseconds.
Configures the cache size that Chromium will use for storing cached media files on the disk.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided cache size regardless whether the user has specified the '--media-cache-size' flag or not. The value specified in this policy is not a hard boundary but rather a suggestion to the caching system, any value below a few megabytes is too small and will be rounded up to a sane minimum.
If the value of this policy is 0, the default cache size will be used but the user will not be able to change it.
If this policy is not set the default size will be used and the user will be able to override it with the --media-cache-size flag.
If this policy is set to true, Google Cast will connect to Cast devices on all IP addresses, not just RFC1918/RFC4193 private addresses.
If this policy is set to false, Google Cast will connect to Cast devices on RFC1918/RFC4193 private addresses only.
If this policy is not set, Google Cast will connect to Cast devices on RFC1918/RFC4193 private addresses only, unless the CastAllowAllIPs feature is enabled.
If the policy "EnableMediaRouter" is set to false, then this policy's value would have no effect.
Enables anonymous reporting of usage and crash-related data about Chromium to Google and prevents users from changing this setting.
If this setting is enabled, anonymous reporting of usage and crash-related data is sent to Google. If it is disabled, this information is not sent to Google. In both cases, users cannot change or override the setting. If this policy is left not set, the setting will be what the user chose upon installation / first run.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. (For Chrome OS, see DeviceMetricsReportingEnabled.)
Configures the requirement of the minimum allowed version of Chromium. Versions below given are treated as obsolete and device would not allow user sign in before OS is updated. If current version becomes obsolete during user session, user will be forcefully signed out.
If this policy is not set, no restrictions are applied, and user can sign regardless of Chromium version.
Here "Version" can be either an exact version like '61.0.3163.120' or a version prefix, like '61.0'
If this is set to true or not set, the New Tab page may show content suggestions based on the user's browsing history, interests, or location.
If this is set to false, automatically-generated content suggestions are not shown on the New Tab page.
Configures a list of printers.
This policy allows administrators to provide printer configurations for their users.
display_name and description are free-form strings that can be customized for ease of printer selection. manufacturer and model serve to ease printer identification by end users. They represent the manufacturer and model of the printer. uri should be an address reachable from a client computer including the scheme, port, and queue. uuid is optional. If provided, it is used to help deduplicate zeroconf printers.
effective_model must match one of the strings which represent a Chromium OS supported printer. The string will be used to identify and install the appropriate PPD for the printer. More information can be found at https://support.google.com/chrome?p=noncloudprint.
Printer setup is completed upon the first use of a printer. PPDs are not downloaded until the printer is used. After that time, frequently used PPDs are cached.
This policy has no effect on whether users can configure printers on individual devices. It is intended to be supplementary to the configuration of printers by individual users.
For Active Directory managed devices this policy supports expansion of ${machine_name[,pos[,count]]} to the Active Directory machine name or a substring of it. For example, if the machine name is CHROMEBOOK, then ${machine_name,6,4} would be replaced by the 4 characters starting after the 6th position, i.e. BOOK. Note that the position is zero-based.
Controls which printers from the NativePrintersBulkConfiguration are available to users.
Designates which access policy is used for bulk printer configuration. If AllowAll is selected, all printers are shown. If BlacklistRestriction is selected, NativePrintersBulkBlacklist is used to restrict access to the specified printers. If WhitelistPrintersOnly is selected, NativePrintersBulkWhitelist designates only those printers which are selectable.
If this policy is not set, AllowAll is assumed.
Specifies the printers which a user cannot use.
This policy is only used if BlacklistRestriction is chosen for NativePrintersBulkAccessMode.
If this policy is used, all printers are provided to the user except for the ids listed in this policy. The ids must correspond to the "id" or "guid" fields in the file specified in NativePrintersBulkConfiguration.
Provides configurations for enterprise printers.
This policy allows you to provide printer configurations to Chromium OS devices. The format is the same as the NativePrinters dictionary, with an additional required "id" or "guid" field per printer for whitelisting or blacklisting.
The size of the file must not exceed 5MB and must be encoded in JSON. It is estimated that a file containing approximately 21,000 printers will encode as a 5MB file. The cryptographic hash is used to verify the integrity of the download.
The file is downloaded and cached. It will be re-downloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.
If this policy is set, Chromium OS will download the file for printer configurations and make printers available in accordance with NativePrintersBulkAccessMode, NativePrintersBulkWhitelist, and NativePrintersBulkBlacklist.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
This policy has no effect on whether users can configure printers on individual devices. It is intended to be supplementary to the configuration of printers by individual users.
Specifies the printers which a user can use.
This policy is only used if WhitelistPrintersOnly is chosen for NativePrintersBulkAccessMode.
If this policy is used, only the printers with ids matching the values in this policy are available to the user. The ids must correspond to the "id" or "guid" fields in the file specified in NativePrintersBulkConfiguration.
Enables network prediction in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
This controls DNS prefetching, TCP and SSL preconnection and prerendering of web pages.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set, network prediction will be enabled but the user will be able to change it.
Allows enabling or disabling network throttling. This applies to all users, and to all interfaces on the device. Once set, the throttling persists until the policy is changed to disable it.
If set to false, there is no throttling. If set to true, the system is throttled to achieve the provided upload and download rates (in kbits/s).
Specifies list of apps that can be enabled as a note-taking app on the Chromium OS lock screen.
If the preferred note-taking app is enabled on the lock screen, the lock screen will contain UI element for launching the preferred note taking app. When launched, the app will be able to create an app window on top of the lock screen, and create data items (notes) in the lock screen context. The app will be able to import created notes to the primary user session, when the session is unlocked. Currently, only Chrome note-taking apps are supported on the lock screen.
If the policy is set, the user will be allowed to enable an app on the lock screen only if the app's extension ID is contained in the policy list value. As a consequence, setting this policy to an empty list will disable note-taking on the lock screen entirely. Note that the policy containing an app ID does not necessarily mean that the user will be able to enable the app as a note-taking app on the lock screen - for example, on Chrome 61, the set of available apps is additionally restricted by the platform.
If the policy is left unset, there will be no restrictions on the set of apps the user can enable on the lock screen imposed by the policy.
Allows pushing network configuration to be applied per-user to a Chromium OS device. The network configuration is a JSON-formatted string as defined by the Open Network Configuration format described at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/open-network-configuration
Android apps can use the network configurations and CA certificates set via this policy, but do not have access to some configuration options.
The policy specifies a list of origins (URLs) or hostname patterns (such as "*.example.com") for which security restrictions on insecure origins will not apply.
The intent is to allow organizations to set whitelist origins for legacy applications that cannot deploy TLS, or to set up a staging server for internal web development so that their developers can test out features requiring secure contexts without having to deploy TLS on the staging server. This policy will also prevent the origin from being labeled "Not Secure" in the omnibox.
Setting a list of URLs in this policy has the same effect as setting the command-line flag '--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure' to a comma-separated list of the same URLs. If the policy is set, it will override the command-line flag.
This policy will override UnsafelyTreatInsecureOriginAsSecure, if present.
For more information on secure contexts, see https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-contexts/.
Strips privacy and security sensitive parts of https:// URLs before passing them on to PAC scripts (Proxy Auto Config) used by Chromium during proxy resolution.
When True, the security feature is enabled, and https:// URLs are stripped before submitting them to a PAC script. In this manner the PAC script is not able to view data that is ordinarily protected by an encrypted channel (such as the URL's path and query).
When False, the security feature is disabled, and PAC scripts are implicitly granted the ability to view all components of an https:// URL. This applies to all PAC scripts regardless of origin (including those fetched over an insecure transport, or discovered insecurely through WPAD).
This defaults to True (security feature enabled), except for Chrome OS enterprise users for which this currently defaults to False.
It is recommended that this be set to True. The only reason to set it to False is if it causes a compatibility problem with existing PAC scripts.
The desire is to remove this override in the future.
Lists the application identifiers Chromium OS shows as pinned apps in the launcher bar.
If this policy is configured, the set of applications is fixed and can't be changed by the user.
If this policy is left unset, the user may change the list of pinned apps in the launcher.
This policy can also be used to pin Android apps.
Specifies the period in milliseconds at which the device management service is queried for user policy information.
Setting this policy overrides the default value of 3 hours. Valid values for this policy are in the range from 1800000 (30 minutes) to 86400000 (1 day). Any values not in this range will be clamped to the respective boundary. If the platform supports policy notifications, the refresh delay will be set to 24 hours because it is expected that policy notifications will force a refresh automatically whenever policy changes.
Leaving this policy not set will make Chromium use the default value of 3 hours.
Note that if the platform supports policy notifications, the refresh delay will be set to 24 hours (ignoring all defaults and the value of this policy) because it is expected that policy notifications will force a refresh automatically whenever policy changes, making more frequent refreshes unnecessary.
Force 'headers and footers' to be on or off in the printing dialog.
If the policy is unset, the user can decide whether to print headers and footers.
If the policy is set to false, 'Headers and footers' is not selected in the print preview dialog, and the user cannot change it.
If the policy is set to true, 'Headers and footers' is selected in the print preview dialog, and the user cannot change it.
Causes Chromium to use the system default printer as the default choice in Print Preview instead of the most recently used printer.
If you disable this setting or do not set a value, Print Preview will use the most recently used printer as the default destination choice.
If you enable this setting, Print Preview will use the OS system default printer as the default destination choice.
Enables printing in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
If this setting is enabled or not configured, users can print.
If this setting is disabled, users cannot print from Chromium. Printing is disabled in the wrench menu, extensions, JavaScript applications, etc. It is still possible to print from plugins that bypass Chromium while printing. For example, certain Flash applications have the print option in their context menu, which is not covered by this policy.
This policy has no effect on Android apps.
Allows you to control the presentation of full-tab promotional and/or educational content in Chromium.
If not configured or enabled (set to true), Chromium may show full-tab content to users to provide product information.
If disabled (set to false), Chromium will not show full-tab content to users to provide product information.
This setting controls the presentation of the welcome pages that help users sign into Chromium, choose it as their default browser, or otherwise inform them of product features.
If the policy is enabled, the user will be asked where to save each file before downloading. If the policy is disabled, downloads will start immediately, and the user will not be asked where to save the file. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting.
If this policy is set to true or not set usage of QUIC protocol in Chromium is allowed. If this policy is set to false usage of QUIC protocol is disallowed.
Schedule an automatic reboot after a Chromium OS update has been applied.
When this policy is set to true, an automatic reboot is scheduled when a Chromium OS update has been applied and a reboot is required to complete the update process. The reboot is scheduled immediately but may be delayed on the device by up to 24 hours if a user is currently using the device.
When this policy is set to false, no automatic reboot is scheduled after applying a Chromium OS update. The update process is completed when the user next reboots the device.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
Note: Currently, automatic reboots are only enabled while the login screen is being shown or a kiosk app session is in progress. This will change in the future and the policy will always apply, regardless of whether a session of any particular type is in progress or not.
Notify users that Chromium must be relaunched or Chromium OS must be restarted to apply a pending update.
This policy setting enables notifications to inform the user that a browser relaunch or device restart is recommended or required. If not set, Chromium indicates to the user that a relaunch is needed via subtle changes to its menu, while Chromium OS indicates such via a notification in the system tray. If set to 'Recommended', a recurring warning will be shown to the user that a relaunch is recommended. The user can dismiss this warning to defer the relaunch. If set to 'Required', a recurring warning will be shown to the user indicating that a browser relaunch will be forced once the notification period passes. The default period is seven days for Chromium and four days for Chromium OS, and may be configured via the RelaunchNotificationPeriod policy setting.
The user's session is restored following the relaunch/restart.
Allows you to set the time period, in milliseconds, over which users are notified that Chromium must be relaunched or that a Chromium OS device must be restarted to apply a pending update.
Over this time period, the user will be repeatedly informed of the need for an update. For Chromium OS devices, a restart notification appears in the system tray when an upgrade is detected. For Chromium browsers, the app menu changes to indicate that a relaunch is needed once one third of the notification period passes. This notification changes color once two thirds of the notification period passes, and again once the full notification period has passed. The additional notifications enabled by the RelaunchNotification policy follow this same schedule.
If not set, the default period of 345600000 milliseconds (four days) is used for Chromium OS devices and 604800000 milliseconds (one week) for Chromium.
Information about the status of Android is sent back to the server.
If the policy is set to false or left unset, no status information is reported. If set to true, status information is reported.
This policy only applies if Android apps are enabled.
Information about the usage of Linux apps is sent back to the server.
If the policy is set to false or left unset, no usage information is reported. If set to true, usage information is reported.
This policy only applies if Linux app support is enabled.
Report device activity times.
If this setting is not set or set to True, enrolled devices will report time periods when a user is active on the device. If this setting is set to False, device activity times will not be recorded or reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report the state of the device's dev switch at boot.
If the policy is set to false, the state of the dev switch will not be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report hardware statistics such as CPU/RAM usage.
If the policy is set to false, the statistics will not be reported. If set to true or left unset, statistics will be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report list of network interfaces with their types and hardware addresses to the server.
If the policy is set to false, the interface list will not be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report information about the active kiosk session, such as application ID and version.
If the policy is set to false, the kiosk session information will not be reported. If set to true or left unset, kiosk session information will be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report list of device users that have recently logged in.
If the policy is set to false, the users will not be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
Report OS and firmware version of enrolled devices.
If this setting is not set or set to True, enrolled devices will report the OS and firmware version periodically. If this setting is set to False, version info will not be reported.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
How frequently device status uploads are sent, in milliseconds.
If this policy is unset, the default frequency is 3 hours. The minimum allowed frequency is 60 seconds.
This policy has no effect on the logging done by Android.
When this setting is enabled, Chromium will always perform revocation checking for server certificates that successfully validate and are signed by locally-installed CA certificates.
If Chromium is unable to obtain revocation status information, such certificates will be treated as revoked ('hard-fail').
If this policy is not set, or it is set to false, then Chromium will use the existing online revocation checking settings.
Contains a list of patterns which are used to control the visiblity of accounts in Chromium.
Each Google account on the device will be compared to patterns stored in this policy to determine the account visibility in Chromium. The account will be visible if its name matches any pattern on the list. Otherwise, the account will be hidden.
Use the wildcard character '*' to match zero or more arbitrary characters. The escape character is '\', so to match actual '*' or '\' characters, put a '\' in front of them.
If this policy is not set, all Google accounts on the device will be visible in Chromium.
Contains a regular expression which is used to determine which users can sign in to Chromium.
An appropriate error is displayed if a user tries to log in with a username that does not match this pattern.
If this policy is left not set or blank, then any user can sign in to Chromium.
Configures the directory that Chromium will use for storing the roaming copy of the profiles.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided directory to store the roaming copy of the profiles if the Chromium policy has been enabled. If the Chromium policy is disabled or left unset the value stored in this policy is not used.
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
If this policy is left not set the default roaming profile path will be used.
If you enable this setting, the settings stored in Chromium profiles like bookmarks, autofill data, passwords, etc. will also be written to a file stored in the Roaming user profile folder or a location specified by the Administrator through the Chromium policy. Enabling this policy disables cloud sync.
If this policy is disabled or left not set only the regular local profiles will be used.
The SyncDisabled policy disables all data synchronization, overriding RoamingProfileSupportEnabled.
If you enable this setting, all Flash content embedded on websites that have been set to allow Flash in content settings -- either by the user or by enterprise policy -- will be run, including content from other origins or small content.
To control which websites are allowed to run Flash, see the "DefaultPluginsSetting", "PluginsAllowedForUrls", and "PluginsBlockedForUrls" policies.
If this setting is disabled or not set, Flash content from other origins or small content might be blocked.
During login, Chromium OS can authenticate against a server (online) or using a cached password (offline).
When this policy is set to a value of -1, the user can authenticate offline indefinitely. When this policy is set to any other value, it specifies the length of time since the last online authentication after which the user must use online authentication again.
Leaving this policy not set will make Chromium OS use a default time limit of 14 days after which the user must use online authentication again.
This policy affects only users who authenticated using SAML.
The policy value should be specified in seconds.
Chrome shows a warning page when users navigate to sites that have SSL errors. By default or when this policy is set to true, users are allowed to click through these warning pages. Setting this policy to false disallows users to click through any warning page.
Warning: The max TLS version policy will be entirely removed from Chromium around version 72 (around January 2019).
If this policy is not configured then Chromium uses the default maximum version.
Otherwise it may be set to one of the following values: "tls1.2" or "tls1.3". When set, Chromium will not use SSL/TLS versions greater than the specified version. An unrecognized value will be ignored.
If this policy is not configured then Chromium uses a default minimum version which is TLS 1.0.
Otherwise it may be set to one of the following values: "tls1", "tls1.1" or "tls1.2". When set, Chromium will not use SSL/TLS versions less than the specified version. An unrecognized value will be ignored.
Identify if Chromium can allow download without Safe Browsing checks when it's from a trusted source.
When False, downloaded files will not be sent to be analyzed by Safe Browsing when it's from a trusted source.
When not set (or set to True), downloaded files are sent to be analyzed by Safe Browsing, even when it's from a trusted source.
Note that these restrictions apply to downloads triggered from web page content, as well as the 'download link...' context menu option. These restrictions do not apply to the save / download of the currently displayed page, nor does it apply to saving as PDF from the printing options.
This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
This policy controls the application of the SafeSites URL filter. This filter uses the Google Safe Search API to classify URLs as pornographic or not.
When this policy is not configured or set to "Do not filter sites for adult content", sites will not be filtered.
When this policy is set to "Filter top level sites for adult content", sites classified as pornographic will be filtered.
Disables saving browser history in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
If this setting is enabled, browsing history is not saved. This setting also disables tab syncing.
If this setting is disabled or not set, browsing history is saved.
Enables search suggestions in Chromium's omnibox and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable this setting, search suggestions are used.
If you disable this setting, search suggestions are never used.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set, this will be enabled but the user will be able to change it.
This setting allows users to switch between Google accounts within the content area of their browser window after they sign into their Chromium OS device.
If this policy is set to false, signing in to a different account from non-Incognito browser content area will not be allowed.
If this policy is unset or set to true, the default behavior will be used: signing in to a different account from the browser content area will be allowed, except for child accounts where it will be blocked for non-Incognito content area.
In case signing in to a different account shouldn't be allowed via the Incognito mode, consider blocking that mode using the IncognitoModeAvailability policy.
Note that users will be able to access Google services in an unauthenticated state by blocking their cookies.
Specifies URLs and domains for which no prompt will be shown when attestation certificates from Security Keys are requested. Additionally, a signal will be sent to the Security Key indicating that individual attestation may be used. Without this, users will be prompted in Chrome 65+ when sites request attestation of Security Keys.
URLs (like https://example.com/some/path) will only match as U2F appIDs. Domains (like example.com) only match as webauthn RP IDs. Thus, to cover both U2F and webauthn APIs for a given site, both the appID URL and domain would need to be listed.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of time after which a user is automatically logged out, terminating the session. The user is informed about the remaining time by a countdown timer shown in the system tray.
When this policy is not set, the session length is not limited.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
The policy value should be specified in milliseconds. Values are clamped to a range of 30 seconds to 24 hours.
Sets one or more recommended locales for a public session, allowing users to easily choose one of these locales.
The user can choose a locale and a keyboard layout before starting a public session. By default, all locales supported by Chromium OS are listed in alphabetic order. You can use this policy to move a set of recommended locales to the top of the list.
If this policy is not set, the current UI locale will be pre-selected.
If this policy is set, the recommended locales will be moved to the top of the list and will be visually separated from all other locales. The recommended locales will be listed in the order in which they appear in the policy. The first recommended locale will be pre-selected.
If there is more than one recommended locale, it is assumed that users will want to select among these locales. Locale and keyboard layout selection will be prominently offered when starting a public session. Otherwise, it is assumed that most users will want to use the pre-selected locale. Locale and keyboard layout selection will be less prominently offered when starting a public session.
When this policy is set and automatic login is enabled (see the |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginId| and |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginDelay| policies), the automatically started public session will use the first recommended locale and the most popular keyboard layout matching this locale.
The pre-selected keyboard layout will always be the most popular layout matching the pre-selected locale.
This policy can only be set as recommended. You can use this policy to move a set of recommended locales to the top but users are always allowed to choose any locale supported by Chromium OS for their session.
Control auto-hiding of the Chromium OS shelf.
If this policy is set to 'AlwaysAutoHideShelf', the shelf will always auto-hide.
If this policy is set to 'NeverAutoHideShelf', the shelf never auto-hide.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
If the policy is left not set, users can choose whether the shelf should auto-hide.
Enables or disables the apps shortcut in the bookmark bar.
If this policy is not set then the user can choose to show or hide the apps shortcut from the bookmark bar context menu.
If this policy is configured then the user can't change it, and the apps shortcut is always shown or never shown.
Shows the Home button on Chromium's toolbar.
If you enable this setting, the Home button is always shown.
If you disable this setting, the Home button is never shown.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
Leaving this policy not set will allow the user to choose whether to show the home button.
If enabled, a big, red logout button is shown in the system tray while a session is active and the screen is not locked.
If disabled or not specified, no big, red logout button is shown in the system tray.
This policy is deprecated, consider using BrowserSignin instead.
Allows the user to sign in to Chromium.
If you set this policy, you can configure whether a user is allowed to sign in to Chromium. Setting this policy to 'False' will prevent apps and extensions that use the chrome.identity API from functioning, so you may want to use SyncDisabled instead.
You might want to look at the IsolateOrigins policy setting to get the best of both worlds, isolation and limited impact for users, by using IsolateOrigins with a list of the sites you want to isolate. This setting, SitePerProcess, isolates all sites. If the policy is enabled, each site will run in its own process. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable SitePerProcess manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting. On Chromium OS, it is recommended to also set the DeviceLoginScreenSitePerProcess device policy to the same value. If the values specified by the two policies don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied.
NOTE: This policy does not apply on Android. To enable SitePerProcess on Android, use the SitePerProcessAndroid policy setting.
You might want to look at the IsolateOriginsAndroid policy setting to get the best of both worlds, isolation and limited impact for users, by using IsolateOriginsAndroid with a list of the sites you want to isolate. This setting, SitePerProcessAndroid, isolates all sites. If the policy is enabled, each site will run in its own process. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOriginsAndroid and SitePerProcessAndroid will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable SitePerProcess manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting.
NOTE: On Android, Site Isolation is experimental. Support will improve over time, but currently it may cause performance problems.
NOTE: This policy applies only to Chrome on Android running on devices with strictly more than 1GB of RAM. To apply the policy on non-Android platforms, use SitePerProcess.
If this setting is enabled, users will be allowed to set up their devices to sync SMS messages between their phones and Chromebooks. Note that if this policy is allowed, users must explicitly opt into this feature by completing a setup flow. Once the setup flow is complete, users will be able to send and receive SMS messages on their Chromebooks.
If this setting is disabled, users will not be allowed to set up SMS syncing.
If this policy is left not set, the default is not allowed for managed users and allowed for non-managed users.
Chromium can use a Google web service to help resolve spelling errors. If this setting is enabled, then this service is always used. If this setting is disabled, then this service is never used.
Spell checking can still be performed using a downloaded dictionary; this policy only controls the usage of the online service.
If this setting is not configured then users can choose whether the spell checking service should be used or not.
If this policy is not set or enabled, the user is allowed to use spellcheck.
If this policy is disabled, the user is not allowed to use spellcheck. The SpellcheckLanguage policy will also be ignored when this policy is disabled.
Force-enables spellcheck languages. Unrecognized languages in that list will be ignored.
If you enable this policy, spellcheck will be enabled for the languages specified, in addition to the languages for which the user has enabled spellcheck.
If you do not set this policy, or disable it, there will be no change to the user's spellcheck preferences.
If the SpellcheckEnabled policy is set to disabled, this policy will have no effect.
The currently supported languages are: af, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US, es, es-419, es-AR, es-ES, es-MX, es-US, et, fa, fo, fr, he, hi, hr, hu, id, it, ko, lt, lv, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sh, sk, sl, sq, sr, sv, ta, tg, tr, uk, vi.
Suppresses the warning that appears when Chromium is running on a computer or operating system that is no longer supported.
Disables data synchronization in Chromium using Google-hosted synchronization services and prevents users from changing this setting.
If you enable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this policy is left not set Google Sync will be available for the user to choose whether to use it or not.
To fully disable Google Sync, it is recommended that you disable the Google Sync service in the Google Admin console.
This policy should not be enabled when RoamingProfileSupportEnabled policy is set to enabled as that feature shares the same client side functionality. The Google-hosted synchronization is disabled in this case completely.
Disabling Google Sync will cause Android Backup and Restore to not function properly.
Specifies the timezone to be used for the device. Users can override the specified timezone for the current session. However, on logout it is set back to the specified timezone. If an invalid value is provided, the policy is still activated using "GMT" instead. If an empty string is provided, the policy is ignored.
If this policy is not used, the currently active timezone will remain in use however users can change the timezone and the change is persistent. Thus a change by one user affects the login-screen and all other users.
New devices start out with the timezone set to "US/Pacific".
The format of the value follows the names of timezones in the "IANA Time Zone Database" (see "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database"). In particular, most timezones can be referred to by "continent/large_city" or "ocean/large_city".
Setting this policy completely disables automatic timezone resolve by device location. It also overrides SystemTimezoneAutomaticDetection policy.
When this policy is set, automatic timezone detection flow will be in one of the following ways depending on the value of the setting:
If set to TimezoneAutomaticDetectionUsersDecide, users would be able to control automatic timezone detection using normal controls in chrome://settings.
If set to TimezoneAutomaticDetectionDisabled, automatic timezone controls in chrome://settings will be disabled. Automatic timezone detection will be always off.
If set to TimezoneAutomaticDetectionIPOnly, timezone controls in chrome://settings will be disabled. Automatic timezone detection will be always on. Timezone detection will use IP-only method to resolve location.
If set to TimezoneAutomaticDetectionSendWiFiAccessPoints, timezone controls in chrome://settings will be disabled. Automatic timezone detection will be always on. The list of visible WiFi access-points will be always sent to Geolocation API server for fine-grained timezone detection.
If set to TimezoneAutomaticDetectionSendAllLocationInfo, timezone controls in chrome://settings will be disabled. Automatic timezone detection will be always on. Location information (such as WiFi access-points, reachable Cell Towers, GPS) will be sent to a server for fine-grained timezone detection.
If this policy is not set, it will behave as if TimezoneAutomaticDetectionUsersDecide is set.
If SystemTimezone policy is set, it overrides this policy. In this case automatic timezone detection is completely disabled.
Specifies the clock format be used for the device.
This policy configures the clock format to use on the login screen and as a default for user sessions. Users can still override the clock format for their account.
If the policy is set to true, the device will use a 24 hour clock format. If the policy is set to false, the device will use 12 hour clock format.
If this policy is not set, the device will default to a 24 hour clock format.
Configures availability and behavior of TPM firmware update functionality.
Individual settings can be specified in JSON properties:
allow-user-initiated-powerwash: If set to true, users will be able to trigger the powerwash flow to install a TPM firmware update.
allow-user-initiated-preserve-device-state: If set to true, users will be able to invoke the TPM firmware update flow that preserves device-wide state (including enterprise enrollment), but loses user data. This update flow is available starting from version 68.
If the policy is not set, TPM firmware update functionality will not be available.
The tab lifecyles feature reclaims CPU and eventually memory associated with running tabs that have not been used in a long period of time, by first throttling them, then freezing them and finally discarding them.
If the policy is set to false then tab lifecycles are disabled, and all tabs will be left running normally.
If the policy is set to true or left unspecified then tab lifecycles are enabled.
If set to false, the 'End process' button is disabled in the Task Manager.
If set to true or not configured, the user can end processes in the Task Manager.
Sets the Terms of Service that the user must accept before starting a device-local account session.
If this policy is set, Chromium OS will download the Terms of Service and present them to the user whenever a device-local account session is starting. The user will only be allowed into the session after accepting the Terms of Service.
If this policy is not set, no Terms of Service are shown.
The policy should be set to a URL from which Chromium OS can download the Terms of Service. The Terms of Service must be plain text, served as MIME type text/plain. No markup is allowed.
If the policy is set to false then third party software will be allowed to inject executable code into Chrome's processes. If the policy is unset or set to true then third party software will be prevented from injecting executable code into Chrome's processes.
This policy configures enabling the virtual keyboard as an input device on ChromeOS. Users cannot override this policy.
If the policy is set to true, the on-screen virtual keyboard will always be enabled.
If set to false, the on-screen virtual keyboard will always be disabled.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it. However, users will still be able to enable/disable an accessibility on-screen keyboard which takes precedence over the virtual keyboard controlled by this policy. See the |VirtualKeyboardEnabled| policy for controlling the accessibility on-screen keyboard.
If this policy is left unset, the on-screen keyboard is disabled initially but can be enabled by the user anytime. Heuristic rules may also be used to decide when to display the keyboard.
Enables the integrated Google Translate service on Chromium.
If you enable this setting, Chromium will offer translation functionality to the user by showing an integrated translate toolbar (when appropriate) and a translate option on the right-click context menu.
If you disable this setting, all built-in translate features will be disabled.
If you enable or disable this setting, users cannot change or override this setting in Chromium.
If this setting is left not set the user can decide to use this function or not.
This policy prevents the user from loading web pages from blacklisted URLs. The blacklist provides a list of URL patterns that specify which URLs will be blacklisted.
A URL pattern has to be formatted according to https://www.chromium.org/administrators/url-blacklist-filter-format.
Exceptions can be defined in the URL whitelist policy. These policies are limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries will be ignored.
Note that it is not recommended to block internal 'chrome://*' URLs since this may lead to unexpected errors.
If this policy is not set no URL will be blacklisted in the browser.
Android apps may voluntarily choose to honor this list. You cannot force them to honor it.
Allows access to the listed URLs, as exceptions to the URL blacklist.
See the description of the URL blacklist policy for the format of entries of this list.
This policy can be used to open exceptions to restrictive blacklists. For example, '*' can be blacklisted to block all requests, and this policy can be used to allow access to a limited list of URLs. It can be used to open exceptions to certain schemes, subdomains of other domains, ports, or specific paths.
The most specific filter will determine if a URL is blocked or allowed. The whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist.
This policy is limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries will be ignored.
If this policy is not set there will be no exceptions to the blacklist from the 'URLBlacklist' policy.
Android apps may voluntarily choose to honor this list. You cannot force them to honor it.
If the policy is set to false, unaffiliated users will not be allowed to use ARC.
If the policy is unset or set to true, all users are allowed to use ARC (unless ARC is disabled by other means).
Changes to the policy will only be applied while ARC is not running, e.g. while Chrome OS is starting.
If this policy is set to true, Unified Desktop is allowed and enabled by default, which allows applications to span multiple displays. The user may disable Unified Desktop for individual displays by unchecking it in the display settings.
If this policy is set to false or unset, Unified Desktop will be disabled. In this case, the user cannot enable the feature.
Deprecated in M69. Use OverrideSecurityRestrictionsOnInsecureOrigin instead.
The policy specifies a list of origins (URLs) or hostname patterns (such as "*.example.com") for which security restrictions on insecure origins will not apply.
The intent is to allow organizations to whitelist origins for legacy applications that cannot deploy TLS, or to set up a staging server for internal web development so that their developers can test out features requiring secure contexts without having to deploy TLS on the staging server. This policy will also prevent the origin from being labeled "Not Secure" in the omnibox.
Setting a list of URLs in this policy has the same effect as setting the command-line flag '--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure' to a comma-separated list of the same URLs. If the policy is set, it will override the command-line flag.
This policy is deprecated in M69 in favor of OverrideSecurityRestrictionsOnInsecureOrigin. If both policies are present, OverrideSecurityRestrictionsOnInsecureOrigin will override this policy.
For more information on secure contexts, see https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-contexts/
Limit the device uptime by scheduling automatic reboots.
When this policy is set, it specifies the length of device uptime after which an automatic reboot is scheduled.
When this policy is not set, the device uptime is not limited.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
An automatic reboot is scheduled at the selected time but may be delayed on the device by up to 24 hours if a user is currently using the device.
Note: Currently, automatic reboots are only enabled while the login screen is being shown or a kiosk app session is in progress. This will change in the future and the policy will always apply, regardless of whether a session of any particular type is in progress or not.
The policy value should be specified in seconds. Values are clamped to be at least 3600 (one hour).
Enable URL-keyed anonymized data collection in Chromium and prevents users from changing this setting.
URL-keyed anonymized data collection sends URLs of pages the user visits to Google to make searches and browsing better.
If you enable this policy, URL-keyed anonymized data collection is always active.
If you disable this policy, URL-keyed anonymized data collection is never active.
If this policy is left not set, URL-keyed anonymized data collection will be enabled but the user will be able to change it.
Allows you to lock the user's session based on the client time or the usage quota of the day.
The |time_window_limit| specifies a daily window in which the user's session should be locked. We only support one rule for each day of the week, therefore the |entries| array may vary from 0-7 in size. |starts_at| and |ends_at| are the beginning and the end of the window limit, when |ends_at| is smaller than |starts_at| it means that the |time_limit_window| ends on the following day. |last_updated_millis| is the UTC timestamp for the last time this entry was updated, it is sent as a string because the timestamp wouldn't fit in an integer.
The |time_usage_limit| specifies a daily screen quota, so when the user reaches it, the user's session is locked. There is a property for each day of the week, and it should be set only if there is an active quota for that day. |usage_quota_mins| is the amount of time that the managed device can be use in a day and |reset_at| is the time when the usage quota is renewed. The default value for |reset_at| is midnight ({'hour': 0, 'minute': 0}). |last_updated_millis| is the UTC timestamp for the last time this entry was updated, it is sent as a string because the timestamp wouldn't fit in an integer.
|overrides| is provided to invalidate temporarily one or more of the previous rules. * If neither time_window_limit nor time_usage_limit is active |LOCK| can be used to lock the device. * |LOCK| temporarily locks a user session until the next time_window_limit or time_usage_limit starts. * |UNLOCK| unlocks a user's session locked by time_window_limit or time_usage_limit. |created_time_millis| is the UTC timestamp for the override creation, it is sent as a String because the timestamp wouldn't fit in an integer It is used to determine whether this override should still be applied. If the current active time limit feature (time usage limit or time window limit) started after the override was created, it should not take action. Also if the override was created before the last change of the active time_window_limit or time_usage_window it should not be applied.
Multiple overrides may be sent, the newest valid entry is the one that is going to be applied.
Defines the list of USB devices that are allowed to be detached from their kernel driver in order to be used through the chrome.usb API directly inside a web application. Entries are pairs of USB Vendor Identifier and Product Identifier to identify a specific hardware.
If this policy is not configured, the list of a detachable USB devices is empty.
This policy allows you to configure the avatar image representing the user on the login screen. The policy is set by specifying the URL from which Chromium OS can download the avatar image and a cryptographic hash used to verify the integrity of the download. The image must be in JPEG format, its size must not exceed 512kB. The URL must be accessible without any authentication.
The avatar image is downloaded and cached. It will be re-downloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.
The policy should be specified as a string that expresses the URL and hash in JSON format, conforming to the following schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "url": { "description": "The URL from which the avatar image can be downloaded.", "type": "string" }, "hash": { "description": "The SHA-256 hash of the avatar image.", "type": "string" } } }
If this policy is set, Chromium OS will download and use the avatar image.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
If the policy is left not set, the user can choose the avatar image representing them on the login screen.
Configures the directory that Chromium will use for storing user data.
If you set this policy, Chromium will use the provided directory regardless whether the user has specified the '--user-data-dir' flag or not. To avoid data loss or other unexpected errors this policy should not be set to a volume's root directory or to a directory used for other purposes, because Chromium manages its contents.
See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables for a list of variables that can be used.
If this policy is left not set the default profile path will be used and the user will be able to override it with the '--user-data-dir' command line flag.
Controls the account name Chromium OS shows on the login screen for the corresponding device-local account.
If this policy is set, the login screen will use the specified string in the picture-based login chooser for the corresponding device-local account.
If the policy is left not set, Chromium OS will use the device-local account's email account ID as the display name on the login screen.
This policy is ignored for regular user accounts.
If enabled or not configured (default), the user will be prompted for video capture access except for URLs configured in the VideoCaptureAllowedUrls list which will be granted access without prompting.
When this policy is disabled, the user will never be prompted and video capture only be available to URLs configured in VideoCaptureAllowedUrls.
This policy affects all types of video inputs and not only the built-in camera.
For Android apps, this policy affects the built-in camera only. When this policy is set to true, the camera is disabled for all Android apps, with no exceptions.
Patterns in this list will be matched against the security origin of the requesting URL. If a match is found, access to video capture devices will be granted without prompt.
NOTE: Until version 45, this policy was only supported in Kiosk mode.
Allows you to control whether virtual machines are allowed to run on Chrome OS.
If the policy is set to True, the device is allowed to run virtual machines. If the policy is set to False, the device will not be allowed to run virtual machines. All three policies, VirtualMachinesAllowed, CrostiniAllowed, and DeviceUnaffiliatedCrostiniAllowed need to be true when they apply for Crostini to be allowed to run. When this policy is changed to False, it applies to starting new virtual machines but does not shut down virtual machines which are already running. When this policy is not set on a managed device, the device is not allowed to run virtual machines. Unmanaged devices are allowed to run virtual machines.
Allows to turn off WPAD (Web Proxy Auto-Discovery) optimization in Chromium.
If this policy is set to false, WPAD optimization is disabled causing Chromium to wait longer for DNS-based WPAD servers. If the policy is not set or is enabled, WPAD optimization is enabled.
Independent of whether or how this policy is set, the WPAD optimization setting cannot be changed by users.
This policy allows you to configure the wallpaper image that is shown on the desktop and on the login screen background for the user. The policy is set by specifying the URL from which Chromium OS can download the wallpaper image and a cryptographic hash used to verify the integrity of the download. The image must be in JPEG format, its file size must not exceed 16MB. The URL must be accessible without any authentication.
The wallpaper image is downloaded and cached. It will be re-downloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.
The policy should be specified as a string that expresses the URL and hash in JSON format, conforming to the following schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "url": { "description": "The URL from which the wallpaper image can be downloaded.", "type": "string" }, "hash": { "description": "The SHA-256 hash of the wallpaper image.", "type": "string" } } }
If this policy is set, Chromium OS will download and use the wallpaper image.
If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it.
If the policy is left not set, the user can choose an image to be shown on the desktop and on the login screen background.
This policy allows users of the WebDriver feature to override policies which can interfere with its operation.
Currently this policy disables SitePerProcess and IsolateOrigins policies.
If the policy is enabled, WebDriver will be able to override incomaptible policies. If the policy is disabled or not configured, WebDriver will not be allowed to override incompatible policies.
If the policy is set to true, Chromium is allowed to collect WebRTC event logs from Google services (e.g. Google Meet), and upload those logs to Google.
If the policy is set to false, or is unset, Chromium may not collect nor upload such logs.
These logs contain diagnostic information helpful when debugging issues with audio or video calls in Chrome, such as the time and size of sent and received RTP packets, feedback about congestion on the network, and metadata about time and quality of audio and video frames. These logs do not contain audio or video contents from the call.
This data collection by Chrome can only be triggered by Google's web services, such as Google Hangouts or Google Meet.
Google may associate these logs, by means of a session ID, with other logs collected by the Google service itself; this is intended to make debugging easier.
If the policy is set, the UDP port range used by WebRTC is restricted to the specified port interval (endpoints included).
If the policy is not set, or if it is set to the empty string or an invalid port range, WebRTC is allowed to use any available local UDP port.
If this policy is set to true or not configured, the browser will re-show the welcome page on the first launch following an OS upgrade.
If this policy is set to false, the browser will not re-show the welcome page on the first launch following an OS upgrade.
