FR Admin Console Policy to Disable/Enable "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"

Project Member Reported by annaloraine@google.com, Jun 5 2018

Issue description

Issue:
Customer wants to disable WiFi during sleep through the Admin Console. Currently, we can only disable/enable it by going to Chrome://Settings > Advanced > Privacy and security > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep

Saw a related report  crbug.com/754787  that it is not fully implemented yet. But once the feature is Stable and fully implemented, can we have a feature to control this policy through the Admin Console?

For an enterprise account, it will be easier and helpful to globally control it rather than sign in to each account and disable it per user.

I haven't found any policy about this in https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3 it's possible to add this feature ?

Makes sense to me. Assigning to dskaram@ for prioritization.

Can you clarify why enterprises want to do this? Why is this feature problematic enough to them that they'd want to globally disable?
Jay, in the case the customer wrote this:
This is a classroom environment where the cart filled with 30 chromebooks is seated under an Access-point. In that same classroom they also have 30 other wifi tablets. 
When the users put away the Chromebooks they just close the lid or press the power button once. 
This results in leaving all 30 Chromebooks connected to the access-point, then they power on the other tablets and fail to connect since the access-point already has 30 clients connected.
Hi,

Is it possible to give me a status update on this case? Last message I see is it's going to be prioritized, has that been done?

Thanks in advance!
