Extension management settings
Last updated October 8, 2024
Edit in Google Admin Console

Setting the policy controls extension management settings for Google Chrome, including any controlled by existing extension-related policies. The policy supersedes any legacy policies that might be set. This policy maps an extension ID or an update URL to its specific setting only. A default configuration can be set for the special ID "*", which applies to all extensions without a custom configuration in this policy. With an update URL, configuration applies to extensions with the exact update URL stated in the extension manifest ( http://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=Configure_ExtensionSettings_policy ). If the 'override_update_url' flag is set to true, the extension is installed and updated using the "update" URL specified in the ExtensionInstallForcelist policy or in 'update_url' field in this policy. The flag 'override_update_url' is ignored if the 'update_url' is a Chrome Web Store url. On Microsoft® Windows® instances, apps and extensions from outside the Chrome Web Store can only be forced installed if the instance is joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain, joined to Microsoft® Azure® Active Directory® or enrolled in Chrome Browser Cloud Management. On macOS instances, apps and extensions from outside the Chrome Web Store can only be force installed if the instance is managed via MDM, joined to a domain via MCX or enrolled in Chrome Browser Cloud Management.
