View Chrome browser profile details

For administrators of managed users signed in to Chrome browser for Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android.

As an administrator, you can use the Managed profiles list and details pages in your Google Admin console to find details about managed Chrome profiles. You can review information such as the profile information, browser version, installed extensions, applied policies, and more.
