Chromebook browser management is the administration of supported Chrome browser activity. The GuardSphere Chrome extension applies browser-scoped rules; it is not a full ChromeOS operating-system manager.
GuardSphere adds device governance, policy enforcement, browser and domain visibility, reporting, and administrative oversight to managed Chromebook environments.
The documented GuardSphere ChromeOS deployment path works with Google Workspace. Administrators centrally force-install the GuardSphere ChromeOS Extension, then separately enroll each Chromebook into the correct GuardSphere organization and group.
Google Workspace delivers the GuardSphere extension to selected managed Chromebooks. GuardSphere enrollment then connects each Chromebook to its organization, group, policies, device record, reporting, and governance workflow.

Administrators should confirm that the Chromebook appears in GuardSphere, belongs to the intended group, reports a recent last-seen time, receives the intended policy, and begins reporting supported browser or domain signals where enabled.
