Deploy Kami Chrome Extension and Google Workspace Marketplace App
❗️ Due to recent changes to third-party app approval and authorization in Google Workspace for Education, there are required steps you must follow to ensure that your students can sign in to Kami with their school-issued Google Accounts. These changes will take effect for all users under the age of 18 starting October 23, 2023. After that date, students will no longer be able to sign in to Kami with their Google Accounts unless third-party app access controls are properly configured.
Find Apps & Extensions Settings
To get started, sign in to your Google admin account. In the left menu, click Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions, and finally click the Users & browsers tab to see your settings.

Select a parent domain (e.g. your.domain.com).
2.
Hover over the yellow circle button with the icon and select the option directly above it: Add from Chrome Web Store.
✏️ You can also add extensions to individual organizational units by clicking the arrow next to the domain.
Once the Chrome Web Store opens, type “Kami” in the search bar to find the Kami Chrome extension (Kami for Google Chrome™). Click the Kami for Google Chrome icon, then click the Select button.
Finally, click the Installation Policy drop-down and select Force Install to force the extension to install.
✏️ We recommend blocking other PDF viewers like DocHub or Text-Help Read and Write, or at least preventing them from being set as your default PDF viewer.
Having multiple programs active at the same time can be confusing for students or cause conflicts during assignment integration. To disable other PDF viewers, simply find them in the Chrome Web Store as in the previous steps and select [Block] in the installation policy.
Deploy Kami Google Workspace Marketplace apps to a domain or specific organizational unit
This step is important for reducing authentication prompts when users across your entire domain or organizational unit sign in to the Kami app with their Google Accounts and access files in Google Drive.

In many cases, administrators do not understand that they are responsible for managing the users of the licenses they have purchased. We try to make it as simple and efficient as possible so that they do not have to spend a lot of time on this management when it is needed.
If you use Google OUs to manage your licenses, you must create a Kami account with the email you use to log in to your admin account in Google Workspace. This is to ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to add and change Google OU deployments in your licenses.
