If you’re a current Google Apps customer, we’re making it easier than ever to set up Chrome device management for managing employee Chrome devices —
directly from your Admin console. We’re also offering a free trial of Chrome device management for 60 days and up to 10 devices*.
With
Chrome device management, you can manage and configure
more than 200 features and settings for your Chrome device fleet (and you can buy devices from our
Chrome Store). These settings provide added security for your employee and business data, tools for improved employee productivity, and time savings with easier device management.
As an administrator, Chrome device management lets you easily configure Chrome features for users, set up Chrome device access to Wi-Fi networks and VPNs, automatically install Chrome extensions and apps, and more. You can apply each setting to specific sets of users, devices, or to everyone in the organization. For example, you can configure a device to automatically connect to a specific network or restrict devices from a specific network.
You can also
manage public session devices where multiple users can share the same Chrome device without the need to sign in with a username and password. For example, you can use public sessions to configure Chrome devices for use as kiosks, loaner devices, shared computers or any other work-related purpose in which users don't need to sign in.
For more details and instructions, check out the
Help Center article about Chrome device management trials and subscriptions.

Notes:
- The trial is only available to customers in the U.S. and Canada.
- Currently the trial is only available if you haven’t already purchased a Chrome device management license. It's also only for annual Chrome device management licenses so is not relevant for Education customers.
