Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 9592.96.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.114 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Looking for a policy that controls allow/deny cam 2. Google Admin does not have a section for this policy 3. Would like to See a policy for this in Google Admin. What is the expected behavior? I would like to control what apps/extensions/websites are allowed to use the Chromebooks camera function. I work for a elementary school district & having to click allow manually for every user that logs into our numerous chromebooks is becoming an issue for the teachers. For example: one of our teachers wants to use the snap shot function in google slides but it first asks for permission for google docs to use the camera. some of our younger grades require alot of attention when asking them to manually preform this task and its adding more stress to the teacher. I thought Google admin would allow me to control this camera permission much like the exception portion in Google Admin for things like pluggins and extensions. What went wrong? I was looking for a solution in Google admin to control the allow/deny permissions for the camera on our chromebooks. I would like to restrict the camera use only to certain sites that our teachers deem appropriate. I would like a policy section for the camera with an exception list so I can allow only those sites access to the camera. Much like the exception area for plugins. The manual option to allow for each student on our many chromebooks is too time consuming for me as a tech & frustrating for the teachers. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 60.0.3112.114 Channel: n/a OS Version: 9592.96.0 Flash Version:

Good question - I think we originally spun this out for kiosk sessions, but maybe this has also been enabled for user sessions. Dennis? How can one set VideoCaptureAllowedUrls via CPanel?

Zhanlu - I only found that we have this setting in device settings, did we not expose it in CPanel for users?

+Max might know more about the background as well.

Right now, we allow to control third party websites to use camera through this device policy "Single Sign-On Camera Permissions": https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/components/policy/resources/policy_templates.json#9124 ,and this user policy "Video Input" : https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/components/policy/resources/policy_templates.json#6138 To have fine-grained control over apps and extensions: I think you need this policy "Extension Settings": https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/components/policy/resources/policy_templates.json#2491 I added the owner of this policy Nick and Matt Blumberg to confirm if this new policy can meet the requirements.

I'd agree with Zhanlu@ that It sounds like the policies you want are a combination of VideoCaptureAllowed and VideoCapturedAllowedUrls. https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#VideoCaptureAllowed https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#VideoCaptureAllowedUrls If you don't already control which extensions can be installed, you'll soon be able to block extensions which access the webcam (available soon) using the "ExtensionSettings" policy.

Zhanlu, do you expose UI on CPanel to set VideoCaptureAllowedUrls?
,
Oct 17 2017
No, VideoCaptureAllowedUrls is not exposed. Only VideoCaptureAllowed is available on CPanel.

OK, this is a feature request then. Over to David to prioritize.
