Setting Up Device Restrictions

To set up the device restrictions

1. Click Device from the Settings menu.

   

2. Select the OU in which your schools have their devices enrolled. You need to prevent students from being able to sign in using guest or to other domains.

3. Type guest mode in the + Search or add a filter field and press Enter.

4. Click the down arrow to the right of the Guest mode option and switch it to Disable guest mode. Disabling guest mode prevents students from accessing unmanaged sessions on Chromebooks, ensuring that the necessary extensions, including Blocksi, are pushed to their devices.

5. Type sign-in restriction in the + Search or add a filter field and press Enter.

6. Click the down arrow to the right of the sign-in restriction option and switch it to Restrict sign-in to a list of users. By allowing specific domains, this setting restricts sign-in to only authorized users, enhancing security and control over Chromebook devices.

7. Type your domain in the Allowed users field that appears. Remember to include *@ in front of the domain name.

8. Type autocomplete domain in the + Search or add a filter field and press Enter.

9. Click the down arrow to the right of the Autocomplete domain option and switch it to Use the domain name, set below, for autocomplete at sign-in.

10. Type your domain in the username@ field that appears. Entering your domain allows the Chrome browser to prefill the domain for users, simplifying the sign-in process and enhancing user experience.

11. Type Chrome management for signed-in users in the + Search or add a filter field and press Enter.

12. Click the down arrow to the right of the Chrome management for signed-in users option and set it to one of the following, depending on your district's requirements:

    • Apply all user policies when users sign into Chrome, and provide a managed Chrome experience: Selecting this setting pushes all extensions deployed to the user's account when they are on a personal device.

    • Do not apply any policies when users sign into Chrome. Allow users access to use Chrome as an unmanaged user: Selecting this setting removes any extensions deployed to the user's account when they are on a personal device.

13. Click SAVE in the upper right corner of the console to save your selections for this OU.

14. Repeat for each student organization in your district.
