How to set it up

1

Enable the Primo Extension (optional)

Toggle on Primo Extension to automatically discover SaaS applications and prevent shadow IT by scanning logins made with employees’ professional Google accounts.
2

Add extensions

Under Custom extension ID, click Add extension to install Chrome extensions on targeted devices. Extension IDs are found in the URL of each extension’s page on the Chrome Web Store.
3

Configure the homepage

Enter a URL to set as the default homepage.
  • Toggle Define “New tab page” as homepage to use Chrome’s new tab page instead.
  • Toggle Show home button to display the home button in the toolbar.
4

Add bookmarks (optional)

Click Add bookmark to deploy managed bookmarks to all targeted devices.
5

Set restore behavior on startup

Use the Restore behavior on startup dropdown to control what Chrome does when it launches.
6

Select targeting

Choose which devices to apply the control to: all devices, specific device groups, or a custom target.

Modifying or removing the control

Disable the control from the profile settings. Disabling stops enforcement but does not remove existing configurations from devices.

How it works

Primo pushes Chrome policies as a managed configuration profile (on macOS) or via registry keys (on Windows). Chrome detects these policies at startup and applies them automatically. Users cannot override managed settings. A Managed by your organization notice appears in Chrome when enterprise policies are active — this is expected behavior.
