Enterprise Deployment Guide

This guide provides instructions for deploying the self-hosted SlashID browser extension in enterprise environments using Chrome's managed storage API for configuration.

Overview​

The SlashID extension can be force-installed and configured through Chrome's enterprise policies without requiring Chrome Web Store publication. The extension reads configuration values from Chrome's managed storage API, allowing centralized management of settings like API endpoints, logging levels, and detection thresholds.

Deployment Options​

Best for: Organizations using Google Workspace/Chrome Enterprise

Use the UI controls in Google Admin to set up the extension in two steps - first add a new extension from a custom URL:

Google admin - add extension

Then in the extension details view ensure it is force installed and upload the configuration as the extension policy:

Google admin - add extension

Microsoft Intune​

Best for: Organizations using Microsoft Cloud

Deploy the extension from the Microsoft Intune admin center. The setup differs by operating system - follow the guide for your managed devices:

  • Microsoft Intune (Windows) — a Settings-catalog policy force-installs the extension, and a PowerShell script writes the token to the registry.
  • Microsoft Intune (macOS) — both the force-install and the token are delivered together in a single custom configuration profile (.mobileconfig).
  • Microsoft Intune (iOS) — installed as a managed iOS app, then configured via an App configuration policy.
