For administrators who manage Chrome policies from the Google Admin console.
As an admin, you can view reports in the Google Admin console to review managed Chrome profile information in your organization.
A managed Chrome profile is created for a user when they sign in to Chrome with their managed Google Account (Google Workspace or Cloud Identity). Managed Google Accounts can sign in on both managed and unmanaged browsers. On managed browsers, if you want to restrict user sign-in to specific domains, you can use the Restrict sign-in to pattern setting in the Admin console.
To view details like profile information, browser version, installed extensions, applied policies, and more, you have to turn on Managed profile reporting for managed users.
Note: With Chrome Enterprise Core, admins get exclusive access to the Managed profiles list and details view in the Admin console. This offers easier and faster access to managing Chrome profiles from the console. For more details, see View Chrome browser profile details.

If needed, use the Frequency of browser status reporting in hours setting to change the number of hours between successive reports. Enter a value between 3 and 24 hours.
