Chrome policy JSON

This is infra/scripts/chrome-policy.json from the Applane repository. Where to paste it: Allow or force-install the extension.

Replace <APPLANE_EXTENSION_ID> with the id shown in the Applane console and <YOUR_DOMAIN> with your Workspace domain. Use one of the two ExtensionSettings entries, not both.

{
  "ExtensionInstallForcelist": [
    "<APPLANE_EXTENSION_ID>;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
  ],
  "ExtensionSettings": {
    "<APPLANE_EXTENSION_ID>": {
      "installation_mode": "force_installed",
      "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",
      "toolbar_pin": "force_pinned"
    }
  },
  "ExtensionSettings_allow_only_alternative": {
    "<APPLANE_EXTENSION_ID>": {
      "installation_mode": "allowed",
      "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
    }
  },
  "ManagedStoragePolicyForApplane": {
    "tenantDomain": "<YOUR_DOMAIN>"
  }
}

Block	What it is
ExtensionInstallForcelist	The classic force-install list: id and the Chrome Web Store update URL. Silent install, not removable.
ExtensionSettings (force_installed)	The same as a per-extension setting, plus toolbar_pin so the icon is visible. Use this or the forcelist; both is harmless.
ExtensionSettings_allow_only_alternative	Rename this key to ExtensionSettings if you want employees to install it themselves. Needed when your policy blocks unlisted extensions.
ManagedStoragePolicyForApplane	The value to paste into the extension’s own Policy for extensions box; it is not a Chrome policy key of its own. tenantDomain pins the company domain so employees never type it. Sign-in still checks the account’s domain.

Where each block goes

• Google Admin console: Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions > Users & browsers. The console has its own form for install mode and pinning; the JSON is for reference. The managed storage block goes in the extension’s Policy for extensions field.
• Chrome Browser Cloud Management custom policies, Windows registry, macOS profile or Linux policy files: ExtensionInstallForcelist and ExtensionSettings as shown. Managed storage goes under 3rdparty/extensions/<APPLANE_EXTENSION_ID>/policy.

Verify

Open chrome://policy on a managed profile and click Reload policies. The id appears under the relevant key. Under chrome://extensions, the extension shows “Installed by your administrator” when force-installed.
