Problem
How can you enable Chrome Developer tools on managed guest sessions?
Environment
- ChromeOS
- Chromebooks
Solution
- Log in to the Admin console.
- Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Settings > Managed guest session.
- Look for the URL blocking.
- Under Blocked URLs use the https:// and http:// patterns.
- Look for the developer tools.
- Change the setting
- If it's a kiosk app check the KioskTroubleshootingToolsEnabled policy in the device settings.
Cause
Blocking all URLs or chrome:// and chrome-untrusted:// URLs can lead to unexpected errors or can be circumvented in some cases. Instead of blocking certain internal URLs, see if there are more specific policies available.
