Miscbrah Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Hi - have a query from another place that's friendly to my establishment asking for a had. A class of students have been given their own google accounts to use chrome and gmail with. No GADS/GAM here just independent. Problem is they're signing in as their PERSONAL chrome accounts sometimes, and with that all their bookmarks and addons etc. This isn't what they want them to do - they'd rather restrict signing in to just the accounts the school have set up. Is there any convenient GP based way to achieve this? Or any other way even? Thanks hugely for any help.
Oaktech Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I've not found it yet... The best I've managed is to disable sync in the administrative templates, so the bookmarks and add-ons don't come down. 1
fiza Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 isn't it possible to somehow link it with their AD credentials (SSO) so that it is an auto login? 1
mark100 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Downloaded the policy templates from here https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en and restricted users signing in via gp 1

AngryTechnician Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 @OB1, how would one go about implementing that in Smoothwall? Preferably for specified user groups, so I could block it for pupils but not staff.
OB1 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Similar method to Youtube for Schools, except you'll need to create a custom category that contains google.com to use as your 'what'.
koltz Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 You can do this in Smoothwall, under User Defined policy objects, create a new one, label it to whatever you want. Click Advanced and under Headers to override, put: X-GoogApps-Allowed-Domains: yourdomain. Then assign the policy to the group you want.
