Hi folks! I manage a bunch of ChromeOS devices in my organization, and I’d like to block some permissions for certain apps. Is there a way to do this in bulk with Hexnode?

Hi @wilma ! Yes, Hexnode does support blocking permissions for apps from the Chrome Web Store. Let me walk you through how you can set it up:
- Log in to your Hexnode UEM portal and create a new policy.
- Choose ChromeOS > App Management > Required Apps and click Configure.
- Click +Add > Add App > Chrome Web Store, enter the App/Extension ID, and click Add.
- After adding the app, configure its permissions by clicking Configure next to the app. Choose the Restriction type as Block permissions and select the permissions to be blocked.
- Once the apps are selected and configured, click Save to add them.
- Finally, associate the policy with the targeted OUs.
Best Regards,

Thanks @isabel_lora , that helps a lot! Just to clarify, do I need to add the app under Required Apps for the permissions to be blocked? Or can I block permissions for apps even if they’re not added as required?

Good question, @wilma ! Yes, the app needs to be added under Required Apps to configure its permissions, since Hexnode applies permission rules only to apps listed there.
