To make it easier to configure apps and extension permissions, we’ve introduced group-based policies for new and existing Google groups. Now, if you need to install an app for a specific set of users you can simply add them to a group instead of moving them into a new organizational unit.
Here’s how it could play out: imagine people distributed across different teams, in different organizational units, who need to collaborate on the design of a new app. Instead of having to try to shuffle everyone into a new organizational unit, now you can easily create a new group and ensure that the right people get access to the app.
Group-based policies reduce the time and effort involved in configuring apps and extensions and help to avoid the forced install of apps to entire organizational units – saving valuable disk space and network bandwidth.

Sample Question and Answers
QUESTION 1
An admin wants to use a custom extension to install a client certificate on a ChromeOS device so that it can connect to the corporate WI-FI.
Which step Is necessary to accomplish this?
A. Install on the device via guest mode
B. Distribute through the Chrome Web Store
C. Force-install to the device
D. Encode the certificate in DER-encoded format
Answer: C
Explanation:
To install a client certificate on a ChromeOS device for corporate Wi-Fi connectivity, it’s necessary to
force-install the custom extension containing the certificate. This ensures the extension is installed
and activated on the device, enabling it to use the certificate for authentication. Here’s how it works:
Custom Extension: The admin creates or obtains a custom extension that includes the client certificate.
Force-Installation: Using the Google Admin console, the admin configures a policy to force-install the
extension on ChromeOS devices within the organization.
Device Activation: Once the device receives the policy, the extension is automatically installed and
activated, even if the user doesn’t manually add it.
Wi-Fi Authentication: The installed extension allows the device to use the client certificate for
authentication when connecting to the corporate Wi-Fi network.
Option A is incorrect because guest mode installations are not persistent and won’t apply the
certificate to the device’s Wi-Fi settings.
Option B is incorrect because distributing through the Chrome Web Store is not necessary for a
custom extension intended for internal use.
Option D is incorrect because while the certificate encoding is important, it’s not the primary step for
enabling Wi-Fi authentication.

QUESTION 2
An organization was recently hacked through an admin’s choice of an operating system. Leadership
decides to move to Chromebooks for their security.
While the organization waits for Chromebooks to be delivered, what will allow them to continue using their existing devices securely?
A. ChromeOS Readiness Guide
B. ChromeOS Managed Browser
C. ChromeOS Bytes
D. ChromeOS Flex
Answer: D
Explanation:
ChromeOS Flex allows the organization to repurpose existing devices by installing a lightweight
version of ChromeOS on them. This provides a secure and familiar environment while they await the
delivery of new Chromebooks. Here’s why it’s the best choice:
Security: ChromeOS Flex inherits the security features of ChromeOS, such as sandboxing, verified
boot, and automatic updates, mitigating the risks associated with the previous operating system.
Quick Deployment: ChromeOS Flex can be easily installed on existing hardware using a USB drive,
minimizing downtime and allowing employees to continue working.
Familiar Interface: The user interface of ChromeOS Flex is similar to ChromeOS, ensuring a smooth
transition for employees.
Option A is incorrect because the ChromeOS Readiness Guide is a resource for planning migration,
not an immediate security solution.
Option B is incorrect because while ChromeOS Managed Browser enhances security within a
browser, it doesn’t address vulnerabilities in the underlying operating system.
Option C is incorrect because ChromeOS Bytes is a blog, not a software solution.

QUESTION 3
Which site isolation policy will enable site isolation for your entire organization?
A. SitePerProcess
B. IsolateOfigins
C. IsolatePerProcess
D. SiteOrigins
Answer: A
Explanation:
The SitePerProcess policy enables site isolation for the entire organization. This means that each
website opened in Chrome will run in its own dedicated process, improving security and stability by
isolating potential vulnerabilities and preventing one compromised site from affecting others.
Option B (IsolateOrigins) and Option D (SiteOrigins) are not valid policy names.
Option C (IsolatePerProcess) is close but not the exact name of the policy.

QUESTION 4
What is a feature of Verified Boot?
A. Makes sure that the firmware and OS have not been tampered with
B. Protects anonymous guests from using the device
C. Eliminates the need for strict policy controls
D. Prevents the user from accessing unauthorized websites
Answer: A
Explanation:
Verified Boot is a security feature in ChromeOS that checks the integrity of the system during startup.
It verifies that the firmware (low-level software) and the operating system haven’t been modified or
corrupted by unauthorized sources. If any tampering is detected, Verified Boot can initiate recovery
processes to restore the system to a known good state.
Option B is incorrect because Verified Boot doesn’t directly manage guest access.
Option C is incorrect because Verified Boot is a security layer that complements, not replaces, policy controls.
Option D is incorrect because website access control is handled by other mechanisms like web
filtering or content restrictions.
QUESTION 5
You are using a third-party service for SSO. Users are confused when signing onto a Chrome device
because they are asked for Google account details before being redirected to the sign-In screen for
your SSO provider Which setting must be changed so managed devices open the SSO provider login page by default?
A. SAML single sign-on login frequency
B. SAML single sign-on password synchronization flows
C. Single sign-on cookie behavior
D. Single sign-on IdP redirection
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Single sign-on IdP redirection setting controls whether managed devices directly open the login
page of the third-party SSO provider (Identity Provider) or first prompt for Google account
credentials. By enabling this setting, you streamline the login process for users and eliminate the
confusion caused by the extra Google account prompt.
Option A is incorrect because it controls the frequency of re-authentication for SAML SSO, not the
