Installing the School-specific extension on Chromebooks from the Google Admin console

What is it?

Myndr can create an extension that is unique to your school. This way the link between your school and Myndr is made automatically! You create the groups and easily assign the switches to them.

What do you need?

The extension is installed for every student account. This extension will filter the internet on the laptops. To install it, you need 2 pieces of information. You can find them here: Organisation details. Or go to the Myndr admin, click the person icon in the top right and choose "Organisation details".
On this page you need the "Chrome extension ID" and "Chrome extension update URL". Use the copy icons to the right of the text to copy them exactly. Aren't they listed? Then you may have selected the wrong school (top of the left-hand menu), or the registration process on our side isn't far enough along yet. Contact us if you're in doubt.

If you can't or don't want to carry out the steps below entirely on your own, we'd be happy to do it together with you. Contact us.

1. Manage the correct group

Go to admin.google.com/ac/chrome/apps/user and select the group (organisational unit) that all students fall under. This is the group where you probably want to install the extension (careful! Teachers must be outside this group. Contact us if this isn't possible).

2. Add a new extension

Once you have selected the correct group, hover your mouse over the large plus sign in the bottom right of the page. A number of icons now appear above the plus sign; click the grid icon.

3. Enter the extension ID and URL

A dialog appears. Enter the extension ID (arrow 1), select "From a custom URL" (arrow 2) and enter the update URL (arrow 3). You copied the extension ID and URL from the Myndr admin at the start of these instructions.

Click SAVE.

4. Force install

Now you still need to set the "installation policy", otherwise the extension won't be installed automatically. On the right, under Installation policy, choose "Force install + pin to browser toolbar".

5. Incognito mode

If your school allows incognito mode on student devices, also tick the box here to make the extension mandatory in incognito mode.
For Myndr to work properly, however, we recommend disabling incognito mode!

6. Done

Click SAVE in the very top right of the window.

The extension will now be installed for all accounts within the organisational unit. This can take a few minutes.
