For administrators of managed users who are signed in to Chrome Web Store on ChromeOS devices or Chrome browser for Windows, Mac, and Linux. As an admin, you can use the Google Admin console to customize the Chrome Web Store for your managed users and browsers. What your users see When managed users sign in to the Chrome Web Store using their Google Account, they'll see a version of the store that's managed by their admin. From Chrome version 131, users begin to notice some changes. For example, in the store search results, users see new tags for items that you block as well as a new filter for private items. In addition, users can find your organization's private and recommended items on the Extensions page only. Customize Chrome Web Store As an admin, you can block or allow extension items, add your organization's private extension, and choose which extensions you want to recommend. You can also add your company name and logo, a homepage banner, and custom messages. Note: From Chrome 141, admins can configure Chrome Web Store settings at the machine level for managed browsers, without the need for users to sign in. For managed signed-in users and browsers, you can display the following items on the Extensions page of the Chrome Web Store: Private —Displays all extensions that are available for users in your organization. For more information about private extensions, see Private Chrome Web Store for your organization . Recommended by your organization —Displays recommended extensions for your managed users and browsers, based on the organizational units and groups where they belong. More extensions —Displays only when you choose to block all extensions and managed allowlists. In this case, the collection only shows the allowlisted items. Your Productivity Toolkit —A list of extension items that are available in the Productivity category. This category only displays if there are no recommended, private, or allowlisted items. Manage private extensions Domain-restricted private extensions In the Chrome Web Store, enterprise developers can publish private extensions exclusively for their own organization. These extensions are visible and available for installation only by users within your organization, remaining hidden from everyone else. For details about how you can use the Admin console to let developers publish domain-restricted private extensions on the Chrome Web Store, read about the Chrome Web Store permissions setting. Third-party private extensions You can allow third-party developers to publish extensions privately to your organization’s Chrome Web Store. For details about how developers deploy domain-published extensions, go to developer documentation . The approvals process begins when a third-party developer sends you an approval link, similar to chrome.google.com/webstore/devconsole/{pubId}/approvefororganizationpublishing . Visit the link to review details about the third-party developer’s publisher account, including their name, contact email, trader disclosure, and link to its Chrome Web Store publisher page if it has any existing items. After confirming that the details on the Approve for Organization Publishing page match your records, you can approve the third-party developer in one of 2 ways: Click Approve on the initial dialog. Turn on Allow this publisher to publish extensions privately to your organization on the approval page and click Save changes. Note: You can revoke access at any time by returning to the same approval link.
