View ChromeOS device information in Intune
View details about your Chrome Enterprise connector and ChromeOS devices in the Microsoft Intune admin center. Information becomes available after:
- You establish the connection between Google Admin console and Microsoft Intune.
- The initial device sync finishes.
- The status in the admin center shows as Active.
You can view synced devices in the Devices > All devices list and throughout the admin center where Intune-managed devices are shown. This article describes the information available, which you can use for monitoring or reporting, and where to find it in the admin center.
Prerequisites
To view ChromeOS devices and device details, you must be assigned a role with read permission for Chrome Enterprise.
Devices must be enrolled before you can see them in the admin center. Enrollment for ChromeOS devices is done in the Google Admin center. You can create the connection before or after you enroll devices. For more information, see Enroll ChromeOS devices (opens Chrome Enterprise and Education Help).
View ChromeOS devices
Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center and go to Devices > All devices to view an aggregated list of all devices in Intune, including those running ChromeOS. The following information is shown for ChromeOS devices:
- Device name: Device names for ChromeOS devices appear as
Chrome- {serialNumber}
. - Managed by: ChromeOS devices are managed by Intune.
- Ownership: ChromeOS devices are always marked as Corporate.
- Compliance: Compliance policies aren't supported with ChromeOS devices in Intune, so they appear in this column as Not evaluated.
Select Filter to filter the device list by platform. You can also go to the navigation menu and select ChromeOS for an exclusive view of ChromeOS devices.

System info
Select System info to see a real-time snapshot of the information available from the Google Admin console.
Delegated administration
You can create dynamic device groups based on a Google Admin organizational unit as a way to delegate administrators to Intune-synced ChromeOS devices. This section describes how to create a dynamic device group so that you can control admin access to the ChromeOS device inventory and remote device actions in the Microsoft Intune admin center.
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, create a group with the following details:
- For Membership type, select Dynamic Device.
- Select Add a dynamic query.
- For Property, select enrollmentProfileName. Select the Operator, depending on how you want the rule to work. For Value, enter the name of a Google Admin organizational unit.
Create a scope tag for an Intune RBAC role. The scope tag determines the level of access for the Intune role. When you get to Assignments, include the dynamic device group you previously created. For more information, see Use role-based access (RBAC) and scope tags for distributed IT.
After you save the scope tag, it applies to every device that's part of the dynamic device group. The organizational unit's information syncs with the enrollmentProfileName device object property in Microsoft Entra ID, using the full path format shown in System info.
For example:
/OU Level1/OU Level2
.The maximum length of the string is 255 characters. Intune truncates the first part of the string if it exceeds the max number of characters.
For example:
/OU Level1/OU Level2/.../OU Level18
becomesevel1/OU Level2/.../OU Level18
.
