How to force install apps and extensions

Problem

How can you force install apps and/or extensions?

Sign in to the Google Admin console.
Navigate to Devices > Chrome.
Select Apps & extensions > Users & browsers or Managed guest sessions.
To apply the setting to all users and enrolled browsers, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit.
Go to the app or extension that you want to automatically install.
Under Installation policy, choose Force install or Force install + pin to ChromeOS taskbar.
Click Save.

If you configured a child organizational unit, you will be able to Inherit or Override a parent organizational unit's settings.
