Setting Helperbird Policies in Enterprise Environments

This guide shows administrators how to configure Helperbird settings across your organization using enterprise policies. You can control subscription keys, exam mode, and admin permissions on Windows, ChromeOS, and macOS platforms.

Before you start: You'll need administrator access to your organization's management tools and Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme

Understanding Policy Settings

Helperbird supports three key policy settings that you can configure for your organization:

subKey (Subscription Key)

• Your Helperbird Pro subscription key
• Authenticates and activates Pro features across the enterprise
• Ensures all users have access without individual subscriptions

isExamMode (Exam Mode)

• Enables/disables exam mode (true/false)
• Restricts certain features during exams
• Useful for educational institutions during test periods

isAdminControl (Admin Control)

• Controls whether settings can be changed by users (true/false)
• When set to true, only admins can modify Helperbird settings
• Helps maintain uniformity and compliance

Configuring Policies on Windows

Step 1: Open Group Policy Editor

Search for gpedit.msc in the Start menu and open the Group Policy Editor. Navigate to User Configuration → Administrative Templates → Google → Google Chrome → Extensions.

Step 2: Configure the Extension Policy

Find Configure extension installation policy, right-click, and select Edit. Add Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme

Step 3: Apply JSON Configuration

In the Additional Policies for Chrome section, paste this JSON configuration (replace Your_Pro_Subscription_Key_Here with your actual subscription key):

{
  "subKey": {
    "Value": "YOUR SUBSCRIPTION KEY"
  },
  "isAdminControl": {
    "Value": true
  }
}

Refresh the policy across your network to apply the settings to all users.

Tip: Set isExamMode and isAdminControl to false if you don't need those features enabled.

Configuring Policies on ChromeOS

Step 1: Access Admin Console

Log into admin.google.com and navigate to Devices → Chrome → Apps & extensions → Users & browsers. Select the Organizational Unit where you want to apply Helperbird settings.

Step 2: Add the Extension

In the Extensions section, select Managed Extensions. Add Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme

Step 3: Apply JSON Configuration

In the ExtensionSettings section, paste this JSON configuration (replace Your_Pro_Subscription_Key_Here with your actual subscription key):

{
  "subKey": {
    "Value": "YOUR SUBSCRIPTION KEY"
  },
  "isAdminControl": {
    "Value": true
  }
}

Click Save to apply the settings to all users in the selected OU.

Tip: Note that ChromeOS uses a slightly different JSON structure with "Value" fields for each setting.

Configuring Policies on macOS

Step 1: Access Management Tools

Use Apple's Profile Manager or your organization's Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Navigate to the configuration profile creation section.

Step 2: Create Chrome Extension Profile

Go to the extensions settings in the profile creation section. Add Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme

Step 3: Apply Plist Configuration

Input this plist configuration (replace Your_Pro_Subscription_Key_Here with your actual subscription key):

<dict>
  <key>ExtensionSettings</key>
  <dict>
    <key>ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme</key>
    <dict>
      <key>subKey</key>
      <string>Your_Pro_Subscription_Key_Here</string>
      <key>isExamMode</key>
      <true/>
      <key>isAdminControl</key>
      <true/>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</dict>

Deploy the configuration profile to all macOS devices in your network.

Tip: Change <true/> to <false/> to disable exam mode or admin control features.
