This article explains how to block or allow some specific URLs with the Chrome app, using its Managed Configuration.
>> To access the Chrome Managed Configuration:
From your WizyEMM dashboard:
- Go to the Public Applications tab, under Application Management
- Search for the Chrome application, and select it for management
- Go to the Profile with which you have enrolled your devices, under Profile Management
- In the Applications tab on your Profile, click on Configuration next to the Chrome app
>> To block URLs
To block an URL or a list of URLs, locate the Block access to a list of URLs entry, using the search engine. Enter the list of URLs following this pattern:
1
["blacklist1.com","blacklist2.org","anothersite.net"]
If you want to block all URLs, enter this:
1
["*"]
>> To authorize URLs
If you want to only authorize URLs, locate the Allow access to a list of URLs, using the search engine. Enter the list of URLs following the same pattern as above:
1
["wikipedia.org","google.com"]
Do not use wildcards * in the URL (except to blacklist everything), else it won’t work. For example, blocking all Facebook sites by specifying ["*.facebook.com"] won’t work. Simple use ["facebook.com"] instead.
