Force chrome to open in guest modeSolved

Hey @porter ,

I understand how frustrating it can be to log users out manually every day. While there isn’t a direct solution to force sign-outs, you can configure Chrome to always open in guest mode. This ensures users can browse without leaving behind any login credentials or data, as guest mode automatically clears everything when the browser is closed.

If this approach works for you, let me know, and I’ll share a configuration profile to help you set it up.

This solution should work for us, @aitana . However, I have a few questions. Can users remove this configuration profile on their own, or is it locked in place? Additionally, what happens if someone uninstalls Chrome and then reinstalls it? Will the configuration automatically apply to the new installation, or would we need to set it up again?

How can we deploy this configuration through Hexnode?

Let me suggest an easy approach. You can create a standard user account on the device and ensure that users can access only that account, while other accounts with administrative privileges remain inaccessible to them. This way, if they try to modify any settings, the system will prompt for admin credentials, which the user likely won’t know. Additionally, they won’t be able to remove the configuration profile.

If you’re using Hexnode, deploying configuration profiles is straightforward and very simple. You can refer to their help guide on deploying configuration profiles to macOS devices.

Let me know if this configuration profile works.

Thank you, @aitana ! This solved one of our most frustrating problems😅.
