GAFE and Chrome confusion
I have come across a school who has had a problem due to confusion of the chrome login and the GAFE login. If you have not set up the chrome preferences correctly it is easy for a student to become confuse, log-in to chrome and then that computer remembers and always goes back to the students chrome account. This is also linked to the GAFE account unless you have disabled the syncing in Chrome. A confusion which means others have access to your GAFE account.
On all of our public-space computers (classrooms, library, labs, etc) we set Chrome to "keep local data only until I quit my browser." That setting is in Settings | Advanced | Privacy | Content Settings.The setting could be changed by a nefarious user, but it will be reset on reboot because we use DeepFreeze on those computers.

Hi Michelle,
I have just been scrolling VLN looking for a similiar situation to the one you have descibed...
Our problem is sort of the opposite, we have individual student logins for all computers on our domain. I had hoped that if a student logs in to a machine as themselves, they could then log into Chrome - with the intended result being that the next time they logged into any machine on the network they would be logged into their Chome (saving them the time of entering passwords etc.)
This has worked, but not consistently. I am now thinking that some machines may have the browser settings set to 'keep local data..' Can this setting be changed in the Google Admin Console?
Thanks
