Both Chromium and Google Chrome support the same set of policies. Please note that this document may include policies that are targeted for unreleased software versions (i.e. their 'Supported on' entry refers to an unreleased version) and that such policies are subject to change or removal without prior notice.

These policies are strictly intended to be used to configure instances of Google Chrome internal to your organisation. Use of these policies outside of your organisation (for example, in a publicly distributed program) is considered malware and will probably be labelled as malware by Google and anti-virus vendors.

These settings don't need to be configured manually! Easy-to-use templates for Windows, Mac and Linux are available for download from https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates.

The recommended way to configure policy on Windows is via GPO, although provisioning policy via registry is still supported for Windows instances that are joined to an Active Directory domain.

## Extensions

You can also force Google Chrome to automatically install extensions by specifying them in ExtensionInstallForcelist. Force-installed extensions are installed regardless whether they are present in the blacklist.
Back to top

### ExtensionInstallBlacklist

Configure extension installation blacklist

Data Types
  List of strings
Windows registry location:
  Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallBlacklist
Mac/Linux preference name:
  ExtensionInstallBlacklist
Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 8
  - Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 11
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Allows you to specify which extensions the users CANNOT install. Extensions already installed will be removed if blacklisted.

  A blacklist value of '*' means all extensions are blacklisted unless they are explicitly listed in the whitelist.

  If this policy is left unset, the user can install any extension in Google Chrome.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallBlacklist\1 = "extension_id1" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallBlacklist\2 = "extension_id2"
  Android/Linux:
    ["extension_id1", "extension_id2"]

### ExtensionInstallWhitelist

Configure extension installation whitelist

Data Types
  List of strings
Windows registry location:
  Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist
Mac/Linux preference name:
  ExtensionInstallWhitelist
Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 8
  - Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 11
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Allows you to specify which extensions are not subject to the blacklist.

  By default, all extensions are whitelisted, but if all extensions have been blacklisted by policy, the whitelist can be used to override that policy.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist\1 = "extension_id1" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist\2 = "extension_id2"

    ["extension_id1", "extension_id2"]
  Mac:
    <array> <string>extension_id1</string> <string>extension_id2</string> </array>

### ExtensionInstallForcelist

Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions

Data Types
  List of strings
Windows registry location:
  Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist
Mac/Linux preference name:
  ExtensionInstallForcelist
Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 9
  - Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 11
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Specifies a list of apps and extensions that are installed silently, without user interaction, and which cannot be uninstalled by the user. All permissions requested by the apps/extensions are granted implicitly, without user interaction, including any additional permissions requested by future versions of the app/extension. Furthermore, permissions are granted for the enterprise.deviceAttributes and enterprise.platformKeys extension APIs. (These two APIs are not available to apps/extensions that are not force-installed.)

  This policy takes precedence over a potentially conflicting ExtensionsInstallBlacklist policy. If an app or extension that previously had been force-installed is removed from this list, it is automatically uninstalled by Google Chrome.

  For Windows instances that are not joined to an Active Directory domain, forced installation is limited to apps and extensions listed in the Chrome Web Store.

  Note that the source code of any extension may be altered by users via Developer Tools (potentially rendering the extension dysfunctional). If this is a concern, the DeveloperToolsDisabled policy should be set.

  Each list item of the policy is a string that contains an extension ID and an "update" URL separated by a semicolon (;). The extension ID is the 32-letter string found e.g. on chrome://extensions when in developer mode. The "update" URL should point to an Update Manifest XML document as described at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/autoupdate. Note that the "update" URL set in this policy is only used for the initial installation; subsequent updates of the extension employ the update URL indicated in the extension's manifest.

  For example, gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx installs the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the standard Chrome Web Store "update" URL. For more information about hosting extensions, see: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/hosting.

  If this policy is left not set, no apps or extensions are installed automatically and the user can uninstall any app or extension in Google Chrome.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist\1 = "gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
  Android/Linux:
    ["gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"]
  Mac:
    <array> <string>gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx</string> </array>

### ExtensionInstallSources

Configure extension, app, and user script install sources

Data Types
  List of strings
Windows registry location:
  Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallSources
Mac/Linux preference name:
  ExtensionInstallSources
Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 21
  - Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 21
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Allows you to specify which URLs are allowed to install extensions, apps and themes.

  Starting in Google Chrome 21, it is more difficult to install extensions, apps and user scripts from outside the Chrome Web Store. Previously, users could click on a link to a *.crx file, and Google Chrome would offer to install the file after a few warnings. After Google Chrome 21, such files must be downloaded and dragged onto the Google Chrome settings page. This setting allows specific URLs to have the old, easier installation flow.

  Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern (see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns). Users will be able to easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.crx file and the page where the download is started from (i.e. the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns.

  ExtensionInstallBlacklist takes precedence over this policy. That is, an extension on the blacklist won't be installed, even if it happens from a site on this list.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallSources\1 = "https://corp.mycompany.com/*"
  Android/Linux:
    ["https://corp.mycompany.com/*"]
  Mac:
    <array> <string>https://corp.mycompany.com/*</string> </array>

Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 25
  - Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 25
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Controls which app/extension types are allowed to be installed.

  This setting white-lists the allowed types of extension/apps that can be installed in Google Chrome. The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "user_script", "hosted_app", "legacy_packaged_app", "platform_app". See the Google Chrome extensions documentation for more information on these types.

  Note that this policy also affects extensions and apps to be force-installed via ExtensionInstallForcelist.

  If this setting is configured, extensions/apps which have a type that is not on the list will not be installed.

  If this setting is left not-configured, no restrictions on the acceptable extension/app types are enforced.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionAllowedTypes\1 = "hosted_app"
  Android/Linux:
    ["hosted_app"]
  Mac:
    <array> <string>hosted_app</string> </array>

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: No
Description:

  Configure power management settings when the user becomes idle.

  This policy controls multiple settings for the power management strategy when the user becomes idle.

  There are four types of action: * The screen will be dimmed if the user remains idle for the time specified by |ScreenDim|. * The screen will be turned off if the user remains idle for the time specified by |ScreenOff|. * A warning dialogue will be shown if the user remains idle for the time specified by |IdleWarning|, telling the user that the idle action is about to be taken. * The action specified by |IdleAction| will be taken if the user remains idle for the time specified by |Idle|.

  For each of above actions, the delay should be specified in milliseconds, and needs to be set to a value greater than zero to trigger the corresponding action. In case the delay is set to zero, Google Chrome OS will not take the corresponding action.

  For each of the above delays, when the length of time is unset, a default value will be used.

  Note that |ScreenDim| values will be clamped to be less than or equal to |ScreenOff|, |ScreenOff| and |IdleWarning| will be clamped to be less than or equal to |Idle|.

  |IdleAction| can be one of four possible actions: * |Suspend| * |Logout| * |Shutdown| * |DoNothing|

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Overrides Google Chrome default printer selection rules.

  This policy determines the rules for selecting the default printer in Google Chrome which happens the first time the print function is used with a profile.

  When this policy is set, Google Chrome will attempt to find a printer matching all of the specified attributes and select it as default printer. The first printer found that matches the policy is selected. In the case of non-unique match, any matching printer can be selected, depending on the order in which printers are discovered.

  If this policy is not set or a matching printer is not found within the timeout, the printer defaults to built-in PDF printer or no printer selected when PDF printer is not available.

  The value is parsed as JSON object, conforming to the following schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "kind": { "description": "Whether to limit the search of the matching printer to a specific set of printers.", "type": { "enum": [ "local", "cloud" ] } }, "idPattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer id.", "type": "string" }, "namePattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer display name.", "type": "string" } } }

  Printers connected to Google Cloud Print are considered "cloud", the rest of the printers are classified as "local". Omitting a field means all values match, for example, not specifying connectivity will cause Print Preview to initiate the discovery of all types of printers, local and cloud. Regular expression patterns must follow the JavaScript RegExp syntax and matches are case sensitive.

Sample value
  "{ "kind": "cloud", "idPattern": ".*public", "namePattern": ".*Color" }"

  This policy is meant to allow for strict plug-in blacklisting where the 'DisabledPlugins' list contains wildcarded entries like disable all plug-ins '*' or disable all Java plug-ins '*Java*' but the administrator wishes to enable some particular version like 'IcedTea Java 2.3'. This particular versions can be specified in this policy.

  Note that both the plug-in name and the plug-in's group name have to be exempted. Each plug-in group is shown in a separate section in about:plug-ins; each section may have one or more plug-ins. For example, the "Shockwave Flash" plug-in belongs to the "Adobe Flash Player" group, and both names have to have a match in the exceptions list if that plug-in is to be exempted from the blacklist.

  If this policy is left not set, any plug-in that matches the patterns in the 'DisabledPlugins' will be locked disabled and the user won't be able to enable them.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\DisabledPluginsExceptions\1 = "Java" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\DisabledPluginsExceptions\2 = "Shockwave Flash" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\DisabledPluginsExceptions\3 = "Chrome PDF Viewer"

If this policy is specified as an OS policy (e.g. GPO on Windows) it will apply to every profile on the system; if the policy is set as a Cloud policy it will apply only to a profile signed in with a managed account.

  In this mode the profile data is persisted on disk only for the length of the user session. Features like browser history, extensions and their data, web data like cookies and web databases are not preserved after the browser is closed. However this does not prevent the user from downloading any data to disk manually, save pages or print them.

  If the user has enabled sync all this data is preserved in his sync profile just like with regular profiles. Incognito mode is also available if not explicitly disabled by policy.

  If the policy is set to disabled or left not set signing in leads to regular profiles.

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Configures a list of managed bookmarks.

  The policy consists of a list of bookmarks whereas each bookmark is a dictionary containing the keys "name" and "url" which hold the bookmark's name and its target. A subfolder may be configured by defining a bookmark without an "url" key but with an additional "children" key which itself contains a list of bookmarks as defined above (some of which may be folders again). Google Chrome amends incomplete URLs as if they were submitted via the Omnibox, for example "google.com" becomes "https://google.com/".

  These bookmarks are placed in a "Managed bookmarks" folder that can't be modified by the user, but the user can choose to hide it from the bookmark bar. Managed bookmarks are not synced to the user account and can't be modified by extensions.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ManagedBookmarks = [{"url": "google.com", "name": "Google"}, {"url": "youtube.com", "name": "Youtube"}, {"name": "Chrome links", "children": [{"url": "chromium.org", "name": "Chromium"}, {"url": "dev.chromium.org", "name": "Chromium Developers"}]}]

Data Types
  Integer [Windows:REG_DWORD]
Windows registry location:
  Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\MaxConnectionsPerProxy
Mac/Linux preference name:
  MaxConnectionsPerProxy
Supported on:
  - Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 14
Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: No, Per Profile: No
Description:

  Specifies the maximal number of simultaneous connections to the proxy server.

  Some proxy servers can not handle high number of concurrent connections per client and this can be solved by setting this policy to a lower value.

  The value of this policy should be lower than 100 and higher than 6 and the default value is 32.

  Some web apps are known to consume many connections with hanging GETs, so lowering below 32 may lead to browser networking hangs if too many such web apps are open. Lower below the default at your own risk.

  If this policy is left not set the default value will be used which is 32.

Sample value
  0x00000020 (Windows), 32 (Linux), 32 (Mac)

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Specifies the maximum delay in milliseconds between receiving a policy invalidation and fetching the new policy from the device management service.

  Setting this policy overrides the default value of 5,000 milliseconds. Valid values for this policy are in the range from 1,000 (1 second) to 300,000 (5 minutes). Any values not in this range will be clamped to the respective boundary.

  Leaving this policy not set will make Google Chrome use the default value of 5,000 milliseconds.

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: No, Per Profile: No
Description:

  Configures the cache size that Google Chrome will use for storing cached media files on the disk.

  If you set this policy, Google Chrome will use the provided cache size regardless of whether the user has specified the '--media-cache-size' flag or not. The value specified in this policy is not a hard boundary but rather a suggestion to the caching system, any value below a few megabytes is too small and will be rounded up to a sane minimum.

  If the value of this policy is 0, the default cache size will be used but the user will not be able to change it.

  If this policy is not set, the default size will be used and the user will be able to override it with the --media-cache-size flag.

Sample value
  0x06400000 (Windows), 104857600 (Linux), 104857600 (Mac)

  When a TLS handshake fails, Google Chrome will retry the connection with a lesser version of TLS in order to work around bugs in HTTPS servers. This setting configures the version at which this fallback process will stop. If a server performs version negotiation correctly (i.e. without breaking the connection) then this setting doesn't apply. Regardless, the resulting connection must still comply with SSLVersionMin.

  If this policy is not configured then Google Chrome uses a default minimum version which is TLS 1.0 in Google Chrome 44 and TLS 1.1 in later versions. Note this does not disable support for TLS 1.0, only whether Google Chrome will work around buggy servers which cannot negotiate versions correctly.

  Otherwise it may be set to one of the following values: "tls1", "tls1.1" or "tls1.2". If compatibility with a buggy server must be maintained, this may be set to "tls1". This is a stopgap measure and the server should be rapidly fixed.

  A setting of "tls1.2" disables all fallback but this may have a significant compatibility impact.

  - "tls1" = TLS 1.0
  - "tls1.1" = TLS 1.1
  - "tls1.2" = TLS 1.2
Sample value
  "tls1.1"

Description:

  Warning: SSLv3 support will be entirely removed from Google Chrome after version 43 (around July 2015) and this policy will be removed at the same time.

  If this policy is not configured then Google Chrome uses a default minimum version which is SSLv3 in Google Chrome 39 and TLS 1.0 in later versions.

  Otherwise it may be set to one of the following values: "sslv3", "tls1", "tls1.1" or "tls1.2". When set, Google Chrome will not use SSL/TLS versions less than the specified version. An unrecognised value will be ignored.

  Note that, despite the number, "sslv3" is an earlier version than "tls1".

  - "ssl3" = SSL
  - "tls1" = TLS 1.0
  - "tls1.1" = TLS 1.1
  - "tls1.2" = TLS 1.2
Sample value
  "ssl3"

  The user can choose a locale and a keyboard layout before starting a public session. By default, all locales supported by Google Chrome OS are listed in alphabetic order. You can use this policy to move a set of recommended locales to the top of the list.

  If this policy is not set, the current UI locale will be pre-selected.

  If this policy is set, the recommended locales will be moved to the top of the list and will be visually separated from all other locales. The recommended locales will be listed in the order in which they appear in the policy. The first recommended locale will be pre-selected.

  If there is more than one recommended locale, it is assumed that users will want to select among these locales. Locale and keyboard layout selection will be prominently offered when starting a public session. Otherwise, it is assumed that most users will want to use the pre-selected locale. Locale and keyboard layout selection will be less prominently offered when starting a public session.

  When this policy is set and automatic login is enabled (see the |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginId| and |DeviceLocalAccountAutoLoginDelay| policies), the automatically started public session will use the first recommended locale and the most popular keyboard layout matching this locale.

  The pre-selected keyboard layout will always be the most popular layout matching the pre-selected locale.

  This policy can only be set as recommended. You can use this policy to move a set of recommended locales to the top but users are always allowed to choose any locale supported by Google Chrome OS for their session.

Supported features:
  Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes, Per Profile: Yes
Description:

  Blocks access to the listed URLs.

  This policy prevents the user from loading web pages from blacklisted URLs. The blacklist provides a list of URL patterns that specify which URLs will be blacklisted.

  Each URL pattern can either be a pattern for local files or a generic URL pattern. Local file patterns are of the format 'file://path', where path should be an absolute path to block. All file system locations for which that path is a prefix will be blocked.

  A generic URL pattern has the format 'scheme://host:port/path'. If present, only the specified scheme will be blocked. If the scheme:// prefix is not specified, all schemes are blocked. The host is required and can be a hostname or an IP address. Subdomains of a hostname will also be blocked. To prevent blocking subdomains, include a '.' before the hostname. The special hostname '*' will block all domains. The optional port is a valid port number from 1 to 65535. If none is specified, all ports are blocked. If the optional path is specified, only paths with that prefix will be blocked.

  Exceptions can be defined in the URL whitelist policy. These policies are limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries will be ignored.

  Note that it is not recommended to block internal 'chrome://*' URLs since this may lead to unexpected errors.

  If this policy is not set, no URL will be blacklisted in the browser.

Sample value
  Windows:
    Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\1 = "example.com" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\2 = "https://ssl.server.com" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\3 = "hosting.com/bad_path" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\4 = "https://server:8080/path" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\5 = ".exact.hostname.com" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\6 = "file://*" Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLBlacklist\7 = "*"

Description:

  Allows access to the listed URLs, as exceptions to the URL blacklist.

  See the description of the URL blacklist policy for the format of entries of this list.

  This policy can be used to open exceptions to restrictive blacklists. For example, '*' can be blacklisted to block all requests, and this policy can be used to allow access to a limited list of URLs. It can be used to open exceptions to certain schemes, subdomains of other domains, ports or specific paths.

  The most specific filter will determine if a URL is blocked or allowed. The whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist.

  This policy is limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries will be ignored.

  If this policy is not set there will be no exceptions to the blacklist from the 'URLBlacklist' policy.

Sample value
