Add a person to your Chromebook

You can let other people sign in to your Chromebook using their Google Accounts. This option is best for people who will be using your Chromebook regularly, like family members. Here's how:

  1. If you're signed in to your Chromebook, sign out.
  2. At the bottom, click Add person.
  3. On the "Choose your setup" screen, select one of the 3 options:
    • For personal use
    • For a child
    • For work or school
  4. Click Next.
  5. Follow the steps that appear.

Tip: If your friend doesn't have an account, they can create a Google Account.

What info people will see

When someone signs in to your Chromebook, they’ll see all their data synced in Chrome, like apps, wallpaper, and bookmarks. They can also use all of Google's web services (like Gmail and Google Drive) using their own account, rather than yours. All of their information and files are kept separate from yours.
