No policy exists in admin console to allow Instant Tethering / Mobile Data on Chromebooks

Reported by colin.jo...@service.nsw.gov.au, May 19 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.1.0; Pixel 2 XL Build/OPM2.171019.029.B1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.158 Mobile Safari/537.36
Platform: All

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Mobile Data can be turned on and instant tethers correctly to pixel phone from Chromebook only when using a personal Gmail account
2. Log into the same Chromebook with a g suite account and this option is locked off by your administrator
3. The admin console currently has no policy option to control this feature, therefore I'm hard blocked from using it in a corporate environment

What is the expected behavior?
That a policy option on/off/user controlled, per OU is available

What went wrong?
Nothing - this is a feature request

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.158  Channel: stable

Max - this looks like a feature request to face the already existing "InstantTetheringAllowed" policy in the Admin Console.
Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for, so we can use this function with Pixel devices in a G Suite context, as the option is 'forced off' on a Chromebook currently, saying that this is enforced by admin console

Is this something that will take a while?
thx
