The following ChromeOS Device Actions allow administrators to instantly push configuration updates, communicate with users, or secure hardware in the event of loss or theft. These tools ensure that every ChromeOS device remains aligned with your organisation’s educational or enterprise policies.
Device Actions
| Action | Description |
| Refresh Device | Triggers a sync to reapply all current profiles, restrictions, and settings from the dashboard to the device. |
| Message | Opens a text box to push a custom message directly to the device screen. |
| Disable Device | Remotely disables the hardware, preventing any further use or login. This is typically used for devices that have been reported lost or stolen. |
| Assign to Teacher Group | Moves the device into a pre-configured "Teachers Group," applying the specific permissions and app suites associated with the Teacher Group. |
ℹ️
Note:
Once a device is Disabled, it will display a custom message (if configured in your global settings) explaining that the device is managed and providing instructions for its return.
