Chrome via JumpCloud on Windows

Deploy the Ploy Chrome extension to Windows devices using JumpCloud. This guide shows you how to configure a JumpCloud device policy to force-install the extension and a PowerShell command to configure it.

What you need

• JumpCloud admin access

• Ploy extension ID: onophcmaogkfmemihdicghifbojhhkik

• Update manifest URL: https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.amazonaws.com/extension/v2/update-manifest.xml

Step 1 – Prepare the deployment package in Ploy

Generate the token and download the Windows deployment script from the Ploy portal:

1. In your Ploy dashboard, click your company name in the bottom left, then go to Settings → Portal config

2. Under Log in options, turn on any of the toggled options you want active

3. Generate a token, then refresh the page

4. Download the scripts, open the ZIP file, and locate the Chrome-windows file – keep it for the next step

Step 2 – Create the Chrome force-install policy in JumpCloud

Create a device policy that force-installs the Ploy extension on Chrome:

1. In the JumpCloud console, go to Device Management → Policy Management → Add New → Device Policy

2. Search for and select Google Chrome Browser Force-Installed Extension List, then configure it

3. Choose a name for the policy

4. Scroll to the bottom and, under Additional Chrome Browser Extensions, click Add Extension ID

5. Paste this value:

onophcmaogkfmemihdicghifbojhhkik;https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.amazonaws.com/extension/v2/update-manifest.xml

6. Click Save Policy

7. Open the policy again, click Devices, add a test device, and click Save

Step 3 – Create and run the PowerShell command

Run the Chrome-windows script you downloaded to configure the extension on the test device:

1. In the JumpCloud console, go to Device Management → Commands → Add Command → Command

2. Select Windows, then select Windows PowerShell

3. Open the Chrome-windows script you saved earlier, copy its contents, and paste them into the Command text box

4. Scroll down, choose a name for the command, and click Save

5. Add the device to the command the same way you added it to the policy

6. Run the command

Step 4 – Verify on test devices

On a test Windows device, quit and reopen Chrome completely, then check that the extension is installed and configured:

1. Confirm the Ploy icon appears in the toolbar

2. Visit chrome://extensions – Ploy should show as "Installed by your organization"

3. Visit chrome://policy and verify the subdomain and authentication token appear under the Ploy section

4. Click the Ploy icon and sign in to verify access

The browser extension can take a little while to pull through, so give it 10 minutes to sync.
