Google Chrome Policies - Intune

Since the Intune Service Release 2203 (March 21, 2022), the Google Chrome guidelines, as we know them from the classic GPOs and the ADMX templates, have been integrated in Intune. This finally gives us the opportunity to configure policies for Google Chrome in Endpoint Manager / Intune directly.

To start with, I have prepared an example configuration for you here, so I can show you how the configuration can be done. I distribute the guidelines as "Basic Security" for Chrome, which is only available as a secondary browser in this environment.

Create Google Chrome policy

You create the policy in the Endpoint Manager under "Devices> Windows> Configuration profiles" +Create profile. Here you select "Windows 10 and later" as platform and "Administrative Templates" under Templates.

We correctly give the policy a descriptive name and description.

In the next step we can then make the desired settings. You can find this under "Computer Configuration/Google". Here you will see two subfolders. Only use the second "Default Settings (user can override)" if the user is actually allowed to adjust the settings. I don't want this in my security settings and select the first subfolder here.

After defining the settings, you assign the policy to at least one group so that it is applied. An overview of the settings made then also appears:

Here are my settings in a table so that you can search for them when creating:

It's that easy to create and manage Google Chrome policies with Intune. The old tedious way via OMA-URI is no longer necessary.
