Deploy the Extensions
In order for GoGuardian Director to work correctly, you will need to have deployed a pair of GoGuardian extensions to at least one Organizational Unit containing users for your domain.
This article is intended to show GoGuardian Director users how to re-deploy the GoGuardian Director extensions to their organization’s users after the initial setup process, if necessary.
What you will need:
- Administrator-level access to your organization’s G Suite for Education account.
- Your GoGuardian extension IDs
1. Locate your GoGuardian Extensions
Every GoGuardian account has a unique pair of Chrome extensions. To find your organization's extensions, sign in to GoGuardian using your Admin credentials and visit https://manage.goguardian.com/products/setup.
Org Management > Products > Quick Install Guide
Keep this window open for the next step!
2. Force-Install the Extensions
- Using your Google Admin Credentials, sign in to admin.google.com
- Click Devices
- Click Chrome Management
- Click User & Browser Settings
- In User Settings, under Organizations, click the OU on the left that contains the student accounts that you intend to filter and monitor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you wish to monitor all users in the organization, including teachers and staff, highlight the domain-level (top-level) OU for your organization. - Scroll down and click the link to the apps & extensions page
