Claude in Chrome admin controls (original) (raw)

This article explains how Team and Enterprise Owners can manage Claude in Chrome for their organization.

Claude in Chrome is a browser extension that allows Claude to read, click, and navigate websites on behalf of your users. As an Owner, you control whether the extension is available for users to install and which sites they can access.

Accessing Claude in Chrome settings

To manage Claude in Chrome settings for your organization:

Enabling or disabling the extension

Use the toggle to enable or disable Claude in Chrome for your entire organization.

Configuring site access

Use allowlists and blocklists to control which websites Claude can access when users are working with the extension.

Allowlist: Specify which sites Claude is permitted to access by adding them to the allowlist. We recommend starting with a restrictive allowlist, especially during initial rollout.

Blocklist: Specify sites Claude should never access, regardless of other settings, by adding them to the blocklist. This adds an extra layer of protection beyond Claude's default blocked categories.

Recommendation: Start with a more restrictive allowlist for the security of your organization's data, then expand access over time as you become comfortable with the extension's behavior.

Managing user access on Claude Desktop

Users with both Claude in Chrome and Claude Desktop installed will now have the option to start a task on the desktop app and let it handle work in the browser without switching windows.

If you want to disable this for members of your organization, you can toggle the extension off entirely, or edit your Enterprise configuration.

Disable the Chrome extension in organization settings:

Most Enterprise organizations already have Chrome extension management in place. You can use these existing controls to limit which employees can install the extension during a pilot phase.
