For administrators who manage Chrome policies from the Google Admin console. Show
As a Chrome Enterprise admin, you can control settings that apply when people use a managed ChromeOS device, such as a Chromebook. Device-level settings apply for anyone who uses the device, even if they sign in as a guest or with a personal Gmail account. Specify device settingsBefore you begin: To make settings for a specific group of devices, put the devices in an organizational unit.
Learn about each settingFor managed ChromeOS devices. If you see Device-specific setting , the setting is only available with specific device types. Some settings aren’t available with single-app kiosks.Most policies apply to both affiliated and unaffiliated users on ChromeOS. A user is affiliated if they are managed by the same domain that manages the ChromeOS device they are signed into. A user is unaffiliated if they are signed into their device as a managed user from a different domain, for example if signs into a device managed by domainB.com or signs into an unmanaged device. The policies that apply only to either affiliated or unaffiliated users are clearly marked in the Admin console. Enrollment and AccessOpen all | Close all Forced re-enrollment Specifies whether ChromeOS devices are forced to re-enroll into your account after they’ve been wiped. By default, wiped devices automatically re-enroll into your account without users having to enter their username and password. To stop automatic re-enrollment becoming the default behavior for your wiped devices, choose an option:
If forced re-enrollment is turned on and you don't want a specific device to re-enroll in your account, you need to deprovision the device. For details on forced re-enrollment, see Force wiped ChromeOS devices to re-enroll. Powerwash Allows users to restore their Chromebook to its factory state if needed. The default is Allow powerwash to be triggered. If you select, Do not allow powerwash to be triggered, there is one exception where the user can still trigger a powerwash. This is when you have allowed users to install a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) firmware update on devices but it has not been updated yet. When the update is performed it might erase a device and reset it to factory settings. For details, see TPM firmware update. Verified access This setting enables a web service to request proof that its client is running an unmodified ChromeOS device that’s policy-compliant (running in verified mode if required by the administrator). The setting includes the following controls:
For more details for admins, go to Enable Verified Access with ChromeOS devices. For developers, go to the Google Verified Access API Developer Guide. Verified mode
Disabled device return instructions This setting controls the custom text on the screen of a device that’s disabled because it was lost or stolen. We recommend that you include a return address and contact phone number in your message so that users who see this screen are able to return the device to your organization. Integrated FIDO second factor Specifies whether users can use 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on devices with a Titan M security chip. Sign-in SettingsOpen all | Close all Guest mode Controls whether to allow guest browsing on managed ChromeOS devices. If you select Allow guest mode, the main sign-in screen offers the option for a user to sign in as a guest. If you select Disable guest mode, a user must sign in using a Google Account or Google Workspace account. When a user signs in using guest mode, your organization's policies are not applied. For K-12 EDU domains, the default is Disable guest mode. For all other domains, the default is Allow guest mode. Sign-in restriction Allows you to manage which users can sign in to ChromeOS devices. Note: If you allow guest browsing or managed guest sessions, users can use devices no matter which setting you choose. Choose an option:
Autocomplete domain Lets you choose a domain name to present to users on their sign-in page so that they don't need to enter the @domain.com part of their username during sign-in. To turn the setting on, from the list, select Use the domain name, set below, for autocomplete at sign-in and enter your domain name. Sign-in screen Specifies whether the ChromeOS device's sign-in screen displays the names and pictures of users who have signed in to the device. Displaying the names and pictures of users on the sign-in screen allows users to quickly start their sessions and works best for most deployments. We recommend you change this setting rarely and selectively to ensure the best user experience.
Device off hours Allows you to set a weekly schedule when the guest browsing and sign-in restriction settings don’t apply to managed ChromeOS devices. For example, school admins can block guest browsing or only allow users with a username ending in @schooldomain.edu to sign in during school hours. Outside of school hours, users can browse in guest mode or sign in to their device using an account other than their @schooldomain.edu account. Device wallpaper image Chrome version 61 and later Replaces the default wallpaper with your own custom wallpaper on the sign-in screen. You can upload images in JPG format (.jpg or .jpeg files) that are up to a maximum size of 16 megabytes. Other file types are not supported. User data Specifies whether enrolled ChromeOS devices delete all locally-stored settings and user data every time a user signs out. Data the device synchronizes persists in the cloud but not on the device itself. If you set it to Erase all local user data, the storage available to the users is limited to half the RAM capacity of the device. If the policy is set together with a managed guest session, it won't cache the session name or avatar. Note: By default, ChromeOS devices encrypt all user data and automatically clean up disk space when shared by multiple users. This default behavior works best for most deployments and ensures data security and an optimal user experience. We recommend you enable Erase all local user data rarely and selectively. Single sign-on IdP redirection Devices must have SAML SSO. See Configure SAML single sign-on for ChromeOS devices. To allow your single sign-on (SSO) users to navigate directly to your SAML identity provider (IdP) page instead of first having to enter their email address, you can enable the Single sign-on IdP redirection setting. Single sign-on cookie behavior Devices must have SAML SSO. See Configure SAML single sign-on for ChromeOS devices. To allow your single sign-on (SSO) users to sign in to internal websites and cloud services that rely on the same identity provider (IdP) on subsequent sign-ins to their ChromeOS device, you can enable SAML SSO cookies. SAML SSO cookies are always transferred on first sign-in, but if you want to transfer cookies in subsequent sign-ins, you need to enable this policy. If you have enabled Android apps on supported devices in your organization and have this policy enabled, cookies are not transferred to Android apps. Single sign-on camera permissions Devices must have SAML SSO. See Configure SAML single sign-on for ChromeOS devices. Important: If you enable this policy, you grant third parties access to their users' cameras on their users' behalf. Ensure that you have proper consent forms in place for users—the system does not show end users any consent forms if permission is granted using this policy. To give third-party apps or services direct access to the user’s camera during a SAML single sign-on (SSO) flow, on behalf of your SSO users, you can enable SSO camera permissions. This setting can be used by a third-party identity provider (IdP) to bring new forms of authentication flows to ChromeOS devices. To add IdPs to the allowlist, enter the URL for each service on a separate line. If you are using this setting to set up Clever Badges™ for your organization, refer to the Clever support site for more information. Single sign-on client certificates Devices must have SAML SSO. See Configure SAML single sign-on for ChromeOS devices. Allows you to control client certificates for single sign-on (SSO) sites. You enter a list of URL patterns as a JSON string. Then, if an SSO site matching a pattern requests a client certificate and a valid device-wide client certificate is installed, Chrome automatically selects a certificate for the site. If the site requesting the certificate doesn’t match any of the patterns, Chrome doesn’t provide a certificate. How to format the JSON string:
The ISSUER/CN parameter (certificate issuer name above) specifies the common name of the Certificate Authority (CA) that client certificates must have as their issuer to be autoselected. If you want Chrome to select a certificate issued by any CA, leave this parameter blank by entering Examples:
Accessibility Control Allows you to control accessibility settings on the sign-in screen. Accessibility settings include large cursor, spoken feedback, and high-contrast mode.
Sign-in language Specifies what language the ChromeOS device’s sign-in screen displays. You can also allow users to choose the language. Sign-in keyboard Specifies which keyboard layouts are allowed on the ChromeOS device’s sign-in screen. Single sign-on verified access Specifies which URLs that are granted access to perform verified access checks on devices during SAML authentication on the sign-in screen. Specifically, if a URL matches one of the patterns entered here, it is allowed to receive a HTTP header containing a response to a remote attestation challenge, attesting device identity and device state. If you do not add an URLs in the Allowed IdP redirect URLs field, no URL is allowed to use remote attestation on the sign-in screen. URLs must have HTTPS scheme, for example, https://example.com. For information about valid url patterns, see Enterprise policy URL pattern format. System info on sign-in screen Specifies whether users can choose to display the device system information, for example ChromeOS version or device serial number, on the sign-in screen or if the system information is always displayed by default. The default is Allow users to display system information on the sign-in screen by pressing Alt+V. Privacy screen on sign-in screen Only for ChromeOS devices with an integrated electronic privacy screen. Specifies whether the privacy screen is always turned on or off on the sign-in screen. You can enable or disable the privacy screen on the sign-in screen, or let users choose. Show numeric keyboard for password Specifies whether the sign-in and lock screens on ChromeOS devices with a touchscreen display a numeric keyboard where users can enter their password. If you select Default to a numeric keyboard for password input, users can still switch to a standard keyboard if they have an alphanumeric password. Sign-in screen accessibilityBy default, accessibility settings are turned off on devices' sign-in screens. If you use the Admin console to turn on or off accessibility features, users can’t change or override them. If you select Allow the user to decide, users can user turn on or off accessibility features as needed. For details, see Turn on Chromebook accessibility settings and Chromebook keyboard shortcuts. Note: Turning off accessibility features can make devices less inclusive. Open all | Close all Spoken feedback Select to speak Lets users select items on the sign-in screen to hear specific text read aloud. While ChromeOS reads the selected words aloud, each word is highlighted visually. For details, see Hear text read aloud. High contrast Changes the font and background color scheme to make the sign-in screen easier to read. Screen magnifier Sticky keys Lets users type shortcut key combinations one key at a time in sequence, instead of having to hold down multiple keys at once. For example, to paste an item, instead of pressing the Ctrl and V keys at the same time, sticky keys lets users first press Ctrl and then press V. For details, see Use keyboard shortcuts one key at a time. On-screen keyboard Lets users input characters without using physical keys. On-screen keyboards are typically used on devices with a touchscreen interface, but users can also use a touchpad, mouse, or connected joystick. For details, see Use the on-screen keyboard. Dictation Lets users enter text on the sign-in screen using their voice instead of a keyboard. For details, see Type text with your voice. Keyboard focus highlighting Highlights objects on the sign-in screen as users navigate through them using the keyboard. It helps users identify where they are on the screen. Caret highlight While editing text, the area around the text caret, or cursor, on the sign-in screen is highlighted. Auto-click enabled The mouse cursor automatically clicks where it stops on the sign-in screen, without users physically pressing mouse or touchpad buttons. For details, see Automatically click objects on your Chromebook. Large cursor Increases the size of the mouse cursor so that it's more visible on the sign-in screen. Cursor highlight Creates a colored focus ring around the mouse cursor so that it's more visible on the sign-in screen. Primary mouse button Allows you to reverse the function of the right and left mouse buttons on the sign-in screen. By default, the left mouse button is the primary button. Mono audio Plays the same sound through all speakers so that users don’t miss content in stereo sound. Accessibility shortcuts Lets users use accessibility keyboard shortcuts on the sign-in screen. For details, see Chromebook keyboard shortcuts. Device update settingsImportant: Before changing any of the auto-update settings below, review Manage updates on ChromeOS devices. Open all | Close all Auto-update settings Allow devices to automatically update OS versionSoftware support is available only for the latest version of ChromeOS. You can allow ChromeOS devices to automatically update to new versions of ChromeOS as they're released and let users check for updates themselves. Allow updates is strongly recommended. To stop updates before a device is enrolled and restarted:
Target versionSoftware support is available only for the latest version of ChromeOS. Specifies the most recent ChromeOS version that devices can update to. Devices do not update to versions of ChromeOS beyond the number that you select. The last few versions of ChromeOS are listed. You should only prevent ChromeOS from updating beyond a specific version if you need to resolve compatibility issues before updating the ChromeOS version. Or, if you need to pin ChromeOS updates to a specific version before switching devices to the Long-term support (LTS) channel. For details about switching to long-term support, see Long-term support on ChromeOS. Select Use latest available version to let ChromeOS update to the newest version when it becomes available. Rollout planSpecifies how you want to roll out updates to managed ChromeOS devices. Choose one of these options:
Staging ScheduleOnly available if you choose to roll out updates over a specific schedule Specifies the rollout schedule for updating devices to new versions of ChromeOS. You can use this setting to limit new versions of ChromeOS to a specific percentage of devices over time. The date that some devices update might be after the release date. You can gradually add devices until they’re all updated. Randomly scatter auto-updates overOnly available if you choose to scatter updates Specifies the approximate number of days that managed devices download an update after its release. You can use this setting to avoid causing traffic spikes in old or low-bandwidth networks. Devices that are offline during this period download the update when they're online again. Unless you know that your network can't handle traffic spikes, you should select Do not scatter auto-updates or select a low number. When scattered updates are turned off, your users benefit from new Chrome enhancements and features quicker. You also minimize the number of concurrent versions, which simplifies change management during the update period. Additional blackout windowsSpecifies the days and times when Chrome temporarily stops automatic checks for updates. If the device is in the middle of an update, Chrome will temporarily pause the update. You can set as many blackout windows as you need. Manual update checks that users or admins initiate during a blackout window are not blocked. Note: Setting this policy might affect the staging schedule, as devices cannot download auto-updates during blackout windows. Auto reboot after updatesSpecifies whether the device restarts automatically after an update. If the device is configured as a kiosk, restarts happen immediately. Otherwise, for user sessions or managed guest sessions, the automatic restart happens after the user next signs out.
Note: For user sessions, we recommend you also set the relaunch notification user policy, so that users are notified to restart their device to get the latest update. For details, see Relaunch notification. Updates over cellularSpecifies the types of connections that ChromeOS devices can use when they automatically update to new versions of ChromeOS. By default, devices automatically check for and download updates only when connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Select Allow automatic updates on all connections, including cellular to let devices automatically update when they’re connected to a mobile network. Enforce updatesFor devices with ChromeOS version 86 and later.
App-controlled updates You can allow a specific app to control the ChromeOS version on a device. This allows you to prevent devices from updating to versions of Chrome beyond the version number specified by the app. If you click Select an app, you can search for and select apps in the Chrome Web store. Kiosk-controlled updates Cannot be used if you’re using an autolaunched kiosk app to control the ChromeOS version on a device You can
allow one specific kiosk app to control the ChromeOS version on a device to prevent devices from updating to versions of Chrome beyond the version number specified by the app. In the manifest file, the app must include If you click Select an app, you can search for and select kiosk apps in the Chrome Web store. Release channel Cannot be set for the top-level organizational unit. You must set by organizational unit. By default, ChromeOS follows updates on the Stable channel. Alternatively, you can choose the Long-term support (LTS), LTS candidate (LTC), Beta, or Dev channels. You can configure one or more of your devices to use the Dev or Beta channel to help identify compatibility issues in upcoming versions of Chrome. For more information, see ChromeOS release best practices. For information to help you decide which channel to have your users on, go to ChromeOS release best practices. Starting in Chrome version 96, you can switch to the LTC channel to help increase stability. It has a slower release cadence than the Stable channel. Devices still continue to receive frequent security fixes, but they only get feature updates every 6 months. For details, see Long-term support (LTS) on ChromeOS. To allow users to select a channel themselves, select Allow user to configure. This lets users test the latest Chrome features by letting them switch the release channel. For details on how users do this on their ChromeOS device, see Switch between stable, beta & dev software. For users to select the Dev channel, you must set the Developer Tools user policy to Always allow use of built-in developer tools. For details, see Developer tools. Variations Enables you to control whether Chrome variations are fully enabled, enabled for critical fixes only, or disabled on devices. By using variations, modifications to Google Chrome can be offered without shipping a new version of the browser by selectively enabling or disabling already existing features. Note: We do not recommend disabling variations as this can potentially prevent the Google Chrome developers from providing critical security fixes in a timely manner. For more details, see Manage the Chrome variations framework. Update downloads Specifies whether ChromeOS devices download ChromeOS updates over HTTP or HTTPS. Scheduled updates Applies to Dell Latitude 5300 2-in-1, 5400, 7410, and 7410 2-in-1 Chromebook Enterprise devices. Specifies the day and time when devices check for updates, even if they're in sleep mode. Devices don't check for updates when they're powered off.

Choose one of the following actions when a user signs out:
Scheduled reboot You can specify the time of day, frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly), and day of the week or month that a device restarts. The schedule is based on the timezone setting of the device. For user sessions or managed guest sessions the following applies:
The default is to disable scheduled reboots. Google recommends that you configure apps to shut down at regular intervals to allow the app or device to restart. For example, you can schedule the device to shut down every Monday at 2 AM. Virtual machinesLinux virtual machines for unaffiliated users (BETA) Allows you to control whether unaffiliated users can use virtual machines to support Linux apps. The setting is applied to starting new Linux containers, not to those already running. The default is Block usage for virtual machines needed to support Linux apps for unaffiliated users and unaffiliated users can't use virtual machines to support Linux apps. If you select Allow usage for virtual machines needed to support Linux apps for unaffiliated users, all unaffiliated users can use Linux virtual machines. To enable it for affiliated users, select Allow usage for virtual machines needed to support Linux apps for users in the Users & browsers page. For details, see Linux virtual machines for unaffiliated users (BETA). Note: This feature is no longer in Beta for consumer ChromeOS devices. It remains in Beta for managed devices and users. Android apps from untrusted sources Allows you to control the use of Android apps from untrusted sources for individual ChromeOS devices. It does not apply to Google Play.
Other settingsOpen all | Close all Device network hostname template Allows you to specify the host name that is passed to the DHCP server with DHCP requests. If this policy is set to a nonempty string, that string will be used as the device host name during the DHCP request. The string can contain the ${ASSET_ID}, ${SERIAL_NUM}, ${MAC_ADDR}, ${MACHINE_NAME}, and ${LOCATION} variables. These variables will be replaced with values found on the device. The resulting substitution should be a valid host name per RFC 1035, section 3.1. If this policy is not set or if the value after substitution is not a valid host name, no host name will be used in the DHCP request. Timezone System timezoneSpecifies the time zone to set for your users' devices. System timezone automatic detectionChoose one of the options to specify how a device detects and sets the current time zone:
Mobile data roaming Specifies whether users on the ChromeOS device can go online using a mobile network maintained by a different carrier (charge may apply). With this setting, users need to allow mobile data roaming on the device. Related topic: Connect to a mobile data network USB access Allows you to specify a list of USB devices that can be accessed directly by applications, such as Citrix Receiver.

Data access protection for peripherals Some peripherals, including certain Thunderbolt or USB4 docks, displays, and connector cables, require users to disable data access protection for them to work properly or at full performance. By default, data access protection for peripherals is turned on for enrolled ChromeOS devices, limiting peripheral performance. Selecting Disable data access protection can help peripherals to perform better, but might expose personal data through unauthorized usage. Bluetooth Allows you to enable or disable Bluetooth on a device.
If you change the policy from Disable bluetooth to Do not disable bluetooth, you must restart the device for the change to take effect. If you change the policy from Do not disable bluetooth to Disable bluetooth, the change is immediate and you do not need to restart the device. Bluetooth services allowed Lists the Bluetooth services that ChromeOS devices are allowed to connect to. Left empty, users can connect to any Bluetooth service. Throttle device bandwidth Devices in kiosk, managed guest session, or user mode with Chrome version 56 and later Controls device-level bandwidth consumption. All network interfaces on a device are throttled, including WiFi, Ethernet, USB Ethernet adapter, USB cellular dongle, and USB wireless card. All network traffic is throttled, including OS updates. To enable the setting:
TPM firmware update Installing TPM firmware updates might erase a device and reset it to factory settings and repeated failed update attempts might make a device unusable. To let users install a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) firmware update on devices, select Allow users to perform TPM firmware updates. For information about how users can install a firmware update, see Update your Chromebook’s security. Authenticated Proxy Traffic Specifies whether system traffic can go through an Internet proxy server with authentication. The default is to block system traffic from going through a proxy server with authentication. If you select Allow system traffic to go through a proxy with authentication, proxy servers will require authentication with service account credentials, a username and password, to access the Internet. These credentials are only used for system traffic, browser traffic still requires the user to authenticate to the proxy with their own credentials. Note: Only HTTPS system traffic can be sent through the authenticated proxy. This can impact users who rely on HTTP for ChromeOS updates. If your network cannot support ChromeOS updates over HTTPS, make sure to set Update downloads to allow updates over HTTP. These updates will not go through the proxy. For details, see Update downloads. MAC address pass through Applies to Dell Latitude 5300 2-in-1, 5400, 7410, and 7410 2-in-1 Chromebook Enterprise devices.Allows you to choose the MAC address that the docking station uses when it’s connected to the Chromebook.

System clock format Specifies the clock format displayed on the sign-in screen and for managed guest sessions on ChromeOS devices. The default is Automatic, based on current language. You can also set the clock to a 12 hour or 24 hour clock format. Users can always change the clock format for their account. Apps and extensions cache size Specifies the size in bytes used for caching apps and extensions for installation by multiple users of a single device. This means that each app and extension does not need to redownload for every user. If you set it to lower than 1 MB or leave it unset, ChromeOS uses the default size of 256 MiB. Hardware profiles Specifies whether hardware profiles, including ICC display profiles used to improve the display quality of attached monitors, can be downloaded from Google servers. The default is to allow hardware profiles to be downloaded. Low disk space notification You can enable or disable notifications when disk space is low. This applies to all users on the device. The default is Do not show notification when disk space is low.
Redeem offers through ChromeOS registration You can allow or prevent enterprise device users from redeeming offers through ChromeOS Registration. The default is Allow users to redeem offers through ChromeOS registration. Prompt when multiple certificates match on the sign-in screen Specifies whether the user is prompted to select a client certificate on the sign-in screen when more than one certificate matches. If you choose to prompt the user and have entered a list of URL patterns in the Single sign-on client certificates setting, whenever the auto-selection policy matches multiple certificates the user is asked to select the client certificate. For more details, see Single sign-on client certificates. If PIV cards are used, you can set the DriveLock Smart Card Middleware (CSSI) app parameter filter_auth_cert to automatically filter authentication certificates. For details, see Auto-select certificates during sign-in. Note: As users might have limited knowledge of certificate selection, we only recommend using the Prompt when multiple certificates match on the sign-in screen setting for testing purposes or if you cannot properly configure the filter in the Single sign-on client certificates setting. International keyboard shortcuts mapping Turns on or off international keyboard shortcut mapping. The default is International keyboard shortcuts are mapped to the location of the keys in the keyboard instead of the glyph of the key. Keyboard shortcuts work consistently with international keyboard layouts and deprecated legacy shortcuts. Note: This policy will be deprecated after customized keyboard shortcuts are available. Android apps for unaffiliated users By default, unaffiliated users can use Android apps on managed ChromeOS devices. Changes to this setting are only applied on managed ChromeOS devices while Android apps are not running. For example, while starting ChromeOS. For information about how to install Android apps on ChromeOS devices, see Deploy Android apps to managed users on ChromeOS devices. Chrome management—partner accessAllow EMM partners access to device management Currently not available for the Education edition Gives EMM partners programmatic access to manage device policies, get device information, and issue remote commands. Partners can use this access feature to integrate Google Admin console functionality into their EMM console. When partner access is turned on, your EMM partner can manage individual ChromeOS devices, which means they no longer have to manage devices by Admin console organizational-unit structure. Instead, they can use the structure configured in their EMM console. You can’t simultaneously set the same policy for the same device using partner access and the Admin console. Device-level policies configured using partner access controls take precedence over policies set in the Admin console. To enforce policies on devices at organizational-unit level, you need to select Disable Chrome management—partner access.

What does the phonological processor allows us to do?The Job of the Phonological Processor This processing system enables us to perceive, remember, interpret, and produce the speech sound system of our own language and learn the sounds of other languages.
Where is the orthographic processor in the brain?Notice that the orthographic processor is on the side of the brain that serves language (left side) and that it is wired into the language centers. Learning to recognize words depends heavily on accurate matching of written symbols with sounds and the connection of those sound patterns with meaning.
What part of the brain is responsible for higher level thinking and planning and processing the sounds of speech?Collectively, your cerebral cortex is responsible for the higher-level processes of the human brain, including language, memory, reasoning, thought, learning, decision-making, emotion, intelligence and personality.
Do eyes process letters by letters?Reading is accomplished with letter-by-letter processing of the word (Rayner, Foorman, Perfetti, Pesetsky, & Seidenberg, 2001, 2002). Fluent readers do perceive each and every letter of print. Thus, we can distinguish casual from causal, grill from girl, and primeval from prime evil.
