The recommended way to configure policy on Windows is Group Policy Object (GPO), however on machines that are joined to an Active Directory domain, p olicy settings may also be stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the following paths:

Google Chrome: Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\

Chromium: Software\Policies\Chromium\

Mac





Policies are defined on a Mac in a plist (property list) file. The latest plist template is included in the Google Chrome/Chromium installer package. To find the plist:

Download Google Chrome Open the bundle and find the Configuration folder Open a file called com.google.Chrome.manifest . This is the latest plist template. Review the plist template. Use the template to create your own plist file. Create your own plist file with appropriate policies based on the plist template. Use the property list editor of your choice. Use your system management tool to push the configuration file to client Macs.
