Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36 Platform: 9592.42.0 (Official Build) beta-channel cave Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Set up a managed chrome device 2. Activate Android Apps 3. Sign-in the chrome device What is the expected behavior? When signing in the chrome device, the user is asked to confirm Google Play store default settings, notably this one: "Automatically back up and restore Play app data to Google Drive" What went wrong? This might be a security/privacy concern. We can instruct our users not to check that settings but having an Admin Console policy to enforce that setting would be a better option. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 60.0.3112.52 Channel: beta OS Version: Flash Version:

There is an Admin Console policy for the feature, under "Android applications" in "User Settings". It's named as "Backup and Restore" - "Automatically backup and synchronize apps for users across any device they log into". If it's set, than the checkbox is not shown on the device. The same with location settings nearby.

Hi, We can't seem to find the policy "Backup and Restore" in the Admin Console under Android Application in Users Settings.

Hi, The option to "Backup and Restore" in the Admin Console under Android Application in Users Settings is gone. That setting has not been showing for some time now and we cannot find any article when that setting was exactly removed. Thank you.
