To ensure that students or users do not sign into Chromebooks using personal Gmail accounts, you can restrict sign-ins to only authorised Google Workspace accounts within your school domain. This will maintain the functionality of the edMesh extension. Follow these steps to set up this restriction as a Super Administrator on your Google Workspace account.
Sign-in restriction settings for your Google Workspace accounts:
Log in to your Google Workspace account with your Administrator account.
Go to the Devices > Chrome > Settings
Select Device Settings towards the top of the page.
Selecting the Sign-in Restriction:
Scroll to the Sign-in Settings section.
#Note: If guest browsing or managed guest sessions are allowed, users can use devices regardless of the chosen settings.
Choose one of the following options:
- Restrict sign-in to a list of users: Only users that you designate can sign in to devices. Other users get an error message. Enter one pattern for each line for the users that you want to specify:
- To let all your users sign in: Enter *@example.com. The Add Person button is always available on devices.
- To only allow specific users to sign in: Enter user-id@example.com. When all the specified users have signed in to a device, the Add person button is no longer available.
- Allow any user to sign in: Any user with a Google Account can sign in to devices. The Add person button is available on the sign-in screen.
- Do not allow any user to sign in: Users can not sign in to devices with their Google Account. The Add person button is unavailable.
After entering the necessary details for the domain sign-in, click on Save at the bottom of the page.
