Using a managed Chromebook

If you use a Chromebook as part of an organization, such as at work or school, your Chromebook might be managed by your network administrator. This means that things like printers, apps, extensions, and organization policies may already be set up for you.

How can I tell if my Chromebook is being managed?

This is likely the case if you received your Chromebook from a supervisor or IT rep, rather than purchasing it yourself.
To be sure, look at the sign-in screen: On a managed Chromebook, the text "Managed by your_domain_name" appears in tiny text next to the Chrome OS version number at the bottom left of the screen.
If instead you purchased your Chromebook yourself and it came in its own box, your Chromebook probably isn't being managed and this article doesn't apply.

What's different about using a managed Chromebook?

When you sign in to your work or school account on a managed Chromebook, you might notice that some things are already set up for you, while a few features might not be available. In most cases, these differences apply only for that account—not when you're signed in to a personal Google Account.
Here's what might be different in your work or school account:
  • Apps. Your administrator might have installed some apps or extensions for you, including those custom-built for your organization. You might also be unable to install certain applications or extensions from the Chrome Web store because they've been blocked by your administrator.
  • Printers. You might have access to printers set up by your administrator, in addition to any printers you add yourself.
  • Settings. Your administrator might have configured some of your Chromebook settings, in which case the settings will be locked and you won't be able to change them yourself.

Also, these features in the wrench icon > Tools menu might be disabled in your work or school account:
  • Browser history
  • Developer tools
