Configuring the Chrome Extension in G Suite for Chromebooks

The Monitor Managed Service Chrome extension needs to communicate with the concentrator API. To do this, you need to supply the organization ID to the extension. The organization ID is provided to the extension via Google's policy framework. Once you have assigned the extension to one or more organization units, you can then apply the settings.

Using a work or school account on a personal computer

We have tested what happens with the Monitor Managed Service Chromebook extension when a user uses their work or school account to log onto their personal computer that isn't a Chromebook:

  • You can see the extension download as part of you profile. However, it's disabled because it doesn't work on anything other than a Chromebook.
  • The extension does NOT work on anything other than a Chrome OS device.
  • The extension does NOT capture on a personal Windows Laptop, if you sign in with a work or school account.
  • When you log out, the extension is no longer in the browser, if force install is done via the username (the most common method). The extension travels with the profile (policy).

You will need

  • Your organization ID from the Monitor Managed Service portal or your account representative.
