Force Enable Chrome extension

[idan katalan]

Hello All,

I want to be able to make sure that no one will disable my extension (Force-Enable the use of my extension).
Is their any option to do this? Check the current status of the extension (Enabled/Disabled) and change it if necessary.

All the PCs running the extension are all company's workstations. So if there is an out-of-extension way to do it it would  be great also

Beeing on linux, you could replace the chromium binary with a
shellscript checking the config for your extension, setting the
appropriate state and enabling it (see the answer
http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/browse_thread/thread/1eae3c7abd7505d9#)
and afterwards calling chromium - but i think you cant forbid the user
to disable it afterwards. maybe there is a kiosk mode for chrome? or you
need to compile your own binary

There's an enterprise group policy you may apply for this:

I am working on a windows machine, I found the file and change the
state to 0 when I restaret chrime it returns to 1 automatically.
Is it acting different in linux ?

Arne:

I tried looking for "Software\Policies\Google\Chrome
\ExtensionInstallForcelist" key in the registry but couldn't found it.
Can you see this policy on your registry?

Sorry, I don't really use Windows.  I'd suggest following the process here: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/windows-quick-start

i believe, chrome saves the state on-close, so you would need to close
all instances of chrome, edit the file, then reopen chrome

might be something else preventing the value to stay, no clue, no
windows, sorry
