Hi all! We’re exploring options for managing Chrome OS devices in our organization. I understand that a Google account is required for this, but can personal Google accounts be used for device management?
Can I use personal account for ChromeOS enrollment?Solved

To manage Chrome OS devices, you will need a Google Admin account provided through Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), as personal Google accounts are not supported for device management purposes. You can check out the official documentation from Google for more information regarding this.
Got it. Are there any costs associated with Google Admin accounts?
Yes, professional Google Admin accounts do come with a cost that depends on the Google Workspace plan you choose. For Chrome OS management, you will need a plan that includes device management features, so I would recommend reviewing the plan details on Google’s pricing page or contacting Google support for clarification on which plan suits your needs.
Many thanks. Does Hexnode support enrollment of ChromeOS devices?
Yes, Hexnode does support the enrollment of Chrome OS devices. This feature has recently been rolled out, so you should check out their enrollment guide for more details.
Hi @margaret and welcome to Hexnode Connect!
Yes, Hexnode supports Chrome OS device management and provides two methods of enrollment:
- General enrollment: This method requires manually enrolling your Chromebooks into the Google Admin console and simultaneously into Hexnode UEM.
- Bulk enrollment: With Android Zero-Touch enrollment, you can work with a pre-provisioning partner to automatically enroll all your Chrome OS devices into your organization in bulk.
Check out our help documentation on enrolling chromeOS devices for detailed instructions on the same.
