You can disable the use of some security-related features while making sure that users have access to the sites they need to improve productivity and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud&#8217;s policy framework lets you remotely apply browser settings to Windows systems that govern the use of Chrome, such as the use of password manager, data security and privacy, and browsing experience. For general information on JumpCloud Policies, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/support\/create-a-policy\">Create a Policy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card tip\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/tip-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Tip:<\/strong> \n<p>JumpCloud provides a universal policy to keep Google Chrome up to date for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Applying one universal policy saves you time by automatically scheduling and enforcing Chrome security patches on a large number of managed devices running different operating systems. See&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud-support.force.com\/support\/s\/article\/Browser-Patch-Policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create a Universal Browser Patch Policy<\/a>&nbsp;for more information about this paid feature. A universal policy does not conflict with the Windows Google Chrome Browser Preferences policy described below.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The browser features you control using this policy are set to&nbsp;<strong>Not Configured<\/strong>&nbsp;by default. If you leave the default, JumpCloud won\u2019t manage a feature or its associated settings. Using this option lets the user choose how the feature is configured, unless you manage it in another way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you want to force the user to work with a feature, you can choose to&nbsp;<strong>Enable<\/strong>&nbsp;it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want JumpCloud to prevent a user on the system from accessing or reconfiguring the browser feature, you can choose to&nbsp;<strong>Disable<\/strong>&nbsp;it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one setting in this policy lets you control the use of password manager in Chrome running on Windows systems. Using the&nbsp;<strong>Password Manager<\/strong>&nbsp;setting lets you control if Chrome remembers passwords for sites and signs users in automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you choose&nbsp;<strong>Not Configured<\/strong>, JumpCloud doesn\u2019t manage this feature. Users may be able to choose whether they want to save passwords for sites and be automatically signed in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you choose&nbsp;<strong>Enabled<\/strong>, JumpCloud lets users access Chrome\u2019s password manager. Users can choose whether they want to save passwords for all sites, for some specific sites, or never save passwords for specific sites. If users choose not to save passwords then they won\u2019t be asked to save that password again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you choose&nbsp;<strong>Disabled<\/strong>, JumpCloud prevents users from accessing Chrome\u2019s password manager. Users won\u2019t ever be asked if they want to save a password in Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To create a policy to manage Chrome running on&nbsp;Windows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to the <a href=\"https:\/\/console.jumpcloud.com\/login\/admin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to&nbsp;<strong>Policies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click&nbsp;<strong>(+).<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the&nbsp;<strong>Configure New Policy screen,<\/strong>&nbsp;select&nbsp;<strong>Windows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the list, next to&nbsp;<strong>Windows Google Chrome Browser Preferences<\/strong>&nbsp;click&nbsp;<strong>configure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the&nbsp;<strong>New Policy<\/strong>&nbsp;panel, optionally enter a new name for the policy, or keep the default.
