I'm having difficulty debugging code that is forced via chrome enterprise.

Using:
Chrome Admin -> Devices -> Chrome -> Apps & Extensions
To force install extension on devices.

The extension requires permissions "enterprise.deviceAttributes". This permission will only run if the extension has been force installed using this method.

However, when an extension is force installed, Chrome will not let you open the inspector.

How is it possible to debug extensions that use "enterprise.deviceAttributes"?

Thanks!

Hi Nihal,

I'm not certain where it appears in the admin panel, but you need to find the equivalent setting to the `DeveloperToolsAvailability` policy: https://chromeenterprise.google/intl/en_uk/policies/#DeveloperToolsAvailability

Setting this should allow you to use DevTools again :)
