We’ve worked closely with Jamf to help simplify policy deployment on macOS-and we’re excited to announce a new policy deployment method. Before, macOS administrators would download a PLIST file and figure out all the steps required to deploy it via their management application. It also lets IT teams manage and deploy extensions and get a report of the extensions installed by users. It enables administrators to set a single group of policies and deploy it on any Mac, Windows, and Linux instance of Chrome from the same console where they manage Chrome OS. Chrome Browser Cloud Management optimizationsĬhrome Browser Cloud Management gives administrators a unified management platform across all desktop Chrome configurations. The new PKG installer format is easier to script and enables administrators to upload the PKG file to their selected endpoint management tool, assign it to selected machines, and just deploy it! The PKG installer is built for enterprise deployment and configuration workflows and will help reduce the amount of time admins need to spend on deploying Chrome to their users. Installer improvementsīeginning with Chrome 80, there is a macOS PKG for download along with our existing DMG option.

Here are some of recent improvements we’ve launched to help make macOS administrators’ jobs easier. Because there are a lot of enterprise admins responsible for managing Macs, we recently made some changes aimed at simplifying deployment and to help ensure that Chrome policies are properly deployed and managed on Mac machines. At Google, the Chrome Browser Enterprise team is working to help make IT admins' jobs easier, and to make Chrome as flexible as possible.
