Chromebook users can browse the internet and bypass filtering using Guest Mode. It is therefore recommended that you disable Guest Mode for all Chromebooks that you use.
Enabling the guest mode would allow the Chromebook to be used as a guest without the district user policy in place. This mode is similar to the Incognito Mode supported by the Chrome browser which we also recommend turning off.
To do this:
- Log in to your Google admin console at https://admin.google.com
- Navigate to Device Management > Chrome > Device > Settings Nucleus UI view
