What is Chrome Enterprise Upgrade (Chrome Device Management)?

How to manage Chrome Devices for Enterprise and Education. (CEU)

Companies have not had a positive view of Chromebook. In recent years, however, businesses have changed the perception of Chromebook. According to the IDC report, there are predictions that by 2018, 25% of Fortune 500 companies will use Chromebook.















One of the biggest features for Chromebook is that it has an affordable price (average $ 150 - $ 300). In addition, it features fast performance, fast booting, secure computers free from viruses and malware, easy-to-manage computers, free office document editing tools, and MS Office compatibility tool. With the ability to run even millions of Android apps on the Google Play Store, Chromebook evolves into innovative computers that are capable of not only cloud-based online apps but also Android offline apps.

Google is launching a Chrome-based platform to strengthen its enterprise market. Google is driving the new paradigm of computers in the enterprise market as well as in the education market. That's why businesses and schools are starting to recognize Chromebook.

Chrome-based platforms launched by Google.     

First, Chrome  Enterprise and Education
    At the heart of this service is a combined platform of Chromebook hardware and Chrome Device Management Console software.
    Chromebook is also enhancing their business by getting solutions that can easily access Windows applications (Remote Desktop, Virtual Desktop, and Desktop as a Service).

Second, Chrome for Kiosk
   Anyone in a public place can use a PC for a low cost public use. It is a platform for Chrome OS devices to be used as a library's book search system and as a public PC in business centers and Internet cafes. In addition, schools can use Chromebook as a device for students to take exams.
    When a Kiosk app launches, any other application cannot be run, and only a single Kiosk app registered by an administrator is allowed to run in full-screen mode. This single Kiosk app can be managed through the Chrome Device Management console.
    Anyone can easily build and deploy Kiosk apps to the Chrome Web Store
 
Third, Chrome for Signage
    We have been flooding around with all kinds of digital displays. It is a platform that enables these digital displays to be published remotely at the desired time of day.
    You can install and manage Signage apps through the Chrome Device Management console.
    Chromebit, a stick-type PC, has been launched and is now making its way into the signage market.

Fourth, Chromebox for Meeting
    It is Google Hangout based video conferencing solution.
    Chromebox, high-definition Video Webcam, Speakerphone and so on, it enables companies to build video conferencing systems at low cost.
    To use this product, a separate service license ($ 250 per year / per device) is necessary.

Fifth, Chromebook that support Android apps on the Google Play Store
    You can now install and run Android apps on the Google Play Store on your Chromebook.
    Chromebook is now available in a variety of online and offline apps.

The Chrome Device Management console is a great feature that makes it easy to remotely manage Chromebooks from businesses and schools.

When a company or school distributes computers to its employees or students, it requires the cost and staffing of user preferences, software, OS updates, security software updates, and replacement or repair for other computers in the event of a malfunction.  

Chromebook is easy to manage remotely through the Chrome Device Management console. Administrator can manage all of their environments, software to be installed, automatic OS updates, and the ability to use the Internet only on a controlled network.

If a Chromebook is lost during a business trip or if it is stolen in a cafe, the administrator can remotely disable the device directly and the device will be immediately logged out and no longer available. If a lost Chromebook is retrieved, the administrator can make it available immediately by changing the device to reuse.

To efficiently manage the many Chromebooks distributed to your employees or students in your company or school, Chrome Device Management console is necessary. The Chrome device management console allows you to define and set up more than 150 policies. It's more complicated than it sounds, and it takes a lot of time and effort to figure it out and use it efficiently. In this book, you can easily learn important things from the functions of Chrome device management through various workshops.

Key policy settings for Chrome Device Management
If you're using a Chromebook in a company or school that uses Google Workspace/ Google Workspace for Education, you may be confused by the difference between user settings and Chromebook device settings.

User settings can be set through admin console of Google Workspace / Google Workspace for Education. However, Chrome Device Management console is required for Chromebook device-specific settings. I will explain the differences in detail.

There are more than 400 policies that can be set through Chrome Device Management. The settings can be broadly categorized into five categories - User Settings, Network Settings, Device Settings, Public Session Settings, and Kiosk Settings.

One important aspect of setting up Chrome devices is setting Chrome devices to Public Session, Kiosk Settings, and Single App Kiosk Mode.
For example, if you are using a Chrome device for multiple users, a business center PC, a PC for book searching in a bookstore or library, or a public PC used by several production workers in a production plant for business purposes, Device management is setting this as a public session. You can use your PC without a login in a public session.
A single app kiosk setting lets you run only a single specified app, which only works in full-screen mode. Other apps, including things like regular Internet search, will not be available.
Typically, the most important of the administrative settings in a business or school will be user settings and device settings. Public session and kiosk mode settings are optional depending on your Chromebook usage.


Differences between user and device settings


  • User policies apply regardless of which devices are logged in
    • Targeted users in the domain through the Admin Console.
    • Control your Chrome browser environment
      • Allowed apps and extension controls
      • Force apps and extensions to install
      • Chrome Web Store Permission Limitations
      • Browser environment control - Incognito mode, history, ad hoc mode, safe browsing, malicious sites, remote access client allowed
      • Proxy settings
      • Control the use of screenshots, block and allow access URLs
      • Print control etc.
    •  Organizations that use Google Workspace or Google Workspace for Education users can manage policies in the Google Workspace Admin console.
    • Companies and schools that do not use Google Apps must acquire and manage Chrome Device Management Console licenses..
  • Device policies are to control and manage devices regardless of who logs in.
    • Control who can log in, how to update, etc.
    • Control how users operate the device rather than what they use on the device


● Device registration and access
● Allow Guest Mode, Login Restrictions (Use only specified users), SSO,
● Chrome OS auto-update control, distribution channel control
● Manage kiosk settings
● Device status reporting
● Scheduled reboot
● Cloud Print Management
● Bluetooth control
● Stop using your device remotely
  •       Device policies can only be controlled through the Chrome Device Management console through Chrome device management licensing.
        Each policy is mutually exclusive. - There is no policy that conflicts with each other.
If you're using Chromebooks in a company or a school that uses Google Workspace or Google Workspace for Educations, you can manage Chromebook's users and set up network without having to register your device. However, device management or opt-in settings, kiosk settings, device provisioning /deprovisioning, etc. are only available if you have a Chrome Device Management license.
Companies that use Chromebooks without Google Workspace will need a Chrome device management license to manage their Chromebooks and manage their users.
