Work Settings
Work Settings enable Chromebooks in your system to use different settings depending on whether they are at work/school or at home.
The conditions Chromebooks use to determine whether they are at work or at home are the same for all devices.
The home and work settings vary by user; each user OU can be assigned a different work group and home group.
This means that if you have two Chromebooks at the same location at the same time, they will both be using either their work settings or home settings. However the work settings for one user may be very different from the other.
The Work Settings feature must be enabled before it will take effect.
Go to MDM > Settings.
Click the Chromebook icon.
Enable the Enable Work IP Range and Work Schedule options.
Work IP Range You can define a range of IP addresses for work settings. If a Chromebook has an external IP address within this range, it uses its work settings. Otherwise, it uses its home settings.
If both an IP range and schedule are enabled, meeting the conditions of either criteria will enable work settings.
To define the range, enter the minimum and maximum IP values in the left and right fields, respectively.
To add another range, click (+).
To delete a range, click (X).
Enable ranges by clicking the checkboxes to the left of the range values. Only enabled ranges are used to determine if a Chromebook should use work settings. You can enable as many ranges as needed.
Work Schedule You can define a weekly schedule for work settings. During the scheduled times, Chromebooks use their work settings. Outside of the schedule, home settings are used.
If both an IP range and schedule are enabled, meeting the conditions of either criteria will enable work settings.
For each day, define a start time and end time in the left and right field, respectively.
Enable days by clicking the checkboxes to the left. The schedule will only take effect on enabled days.
