How to deploy Grammarly for Chrome

In your Microsoft Windows Group Policy Editor (Computer or User Configuration folder):

1. Go to Administrative Templates → Google → Google Chrome Extensions.
2. Open Extension management settings.
   Note: If you don’t see the policy, download the latest policy template.
3. Enable the policy and enter its compact JSON data in the text box.
   Note: Enter JSON data as a single line with no line breaks. You can use this third-party JSON compression tool to validate policies and compact them into a single line (example JSON data below).
4. Set the following app and extension policy:

   {
     "kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen": 
       {
        "installation_mode": "force_installed",
        "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
       }
   }

5. After you deploy any Chrome extension policy, check user devices to make sure the policy was applied correctly.
6. On a managed Chrome device, go to chrome://policy.
7. Click Reload policies.
8. In the top right, in the Filter policies by field box, enter ExtensionSettings.
9. Check the Show policies with no value set box.
10. Under the Chrome policy name next to each extension setting, make sure Status is set to OK.
11. Click Show value and make sure the value field isn’t empty.

1. Find or create the following key in the registry:
   • 32-bit Windows:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions

   • 64-bit Windows:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions

2. Create a new key (folder) under the Extensions key called “kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen”
3. In your extension key, create an “update_url” property and set it to this value: "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"

In your Chrome configuration profile:

1. Update the ExtensionSettings key and add the following entry:
   

   <key>kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen</key>
   <dict>
       <key>installation_mode</key>
       <string>force_installed</string>
   <key>update_url</key>
       <string>https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx</string>
   </dict>

2. After you deploy the extension policy, check user devices to make sure the policy was applied correctly.
3. On a managed Chrome device, go to chrome://policy.
4. Click Reload policies.
5. In the top-right corner, in the Filter policies by field box, enter ExtensionSettings.

1. Go to the Google Admin Console → Chrome browser → Apps & extensions
2. Select the OU/Group that should get the Grammarly for Chrome browser extension.

We recommend changing the Installation policy to Force install and pinning the extension to the browser toolbar to increase visibility.

If you’re looking to enable Managed Mode for your team, add this to the Policy for extensions field.
