Prevent Students from Logging in with Personal Gmail Accounts

To maintain control over student devices and ensure proper monitoring, it is essential to prevent students from logging into Chromebooks using their personal Gmail accounts. This can be achieved by configuring the Google Admin Console to restrict logins to users within your domain.

1. Log in to your Google Admin Console.
2. Select Device Management.
3. From the left menu, choose Chrome Management.

4. Select Device Settings .

5. Determine which devices you want to restrict to domain logins only. Note that you should focus on Organizational Units (OUs) with devices, not OUs with student login IDs. To apply this setting organization-wide, keep the root organization selected. To restrict only specific devices, navigate to your organizational structure on the left and select the desired OU.

6. After selecting the appropriate OU, scroll down to the Sign-In Settings section and locate the Sign-in Restriction area.

7. Select Restrict Sign-in to the list of users:. In the allowed usernames box, enter the wildcard (asterisk), followed by the @ symbol, and then your domain name. For example, *@myschool.org. The wildcard allows any username within your domain to log in.

8. Click Save to apply your settings.
