Supervised users are being removed

You can no longer create a supervised profile for controlling and seeing the websites someone visits.

If you already have a supervised profile set up, you can continue to use it until May 2019, when all supervised user profiles will be removed.

You can't:

  • Add a new supervised profile
  • Move a supervised user to a regular profile
  • Edit settings for a supervised profile
  • Approve or reject browsing requests
  • See supervised profiles' activity

To manage the Chromebook experience for your child, create an account for them with Family Link and sign them in on their Chromebook.
