Start managing Chrome Browser

This page is for administrators who manage Chrome Browsers on Windows®, Mac®, or Linux® computers.

As an IT admin for a business or school, you can deploy Chrome Browsers to users across Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. You can then manage 200+ policies that govern people's use of Chrome, such as the apps and extensions they can use, data security and privacy, their browsing experience, and more.

Set device-level policies on premise

After Chrome Browser is installed on your users’ corporate computers, you can set policies that apply for anyone who uses those devices. These device-level policies apply whether or not people are using Chrome Browser or signed in to any account. As an admin, you can enforce policies that user's cannot modify. And you can deploy default preferences that users can change.

Use your preferred on-premise method to set policies and default preferences, including:

Windows Group Policy
Windows Registry or master_preferences file
Preferred configuration tool for Mac configuration files or JSON files (Linux)

See Chrome Browser on Windows | Mac/Linux

Manage user-level policies from the cloud

If you have access to the Google Admin console, such as with a G Suite account, you can manage user-level policies from the cloud. These policies apply when users are signed in to their corporate Chrome profile on any Chrome Browser or device running Chrome OS, including personal computers when they're away from work.

Support legacy browser apps

Your organization can take advantage of Chrome Browser while still easily accessing older websites and apps that require Internet Explorer. Just deploy the Chrome legacy browser extension. When users click links in the Chrome Browser that instead require a legacy browser, the URL automatically opens in the legacy browser.
