Browser Extension Distribution Scenarios

There are two approaches to distributing the PixieBrix Browser Extension:

• Scenario #1: Self-Serve Installation from Chrome Web Store. Team members manually install the browser extension as needed

  • If your organization blocks extension by default, add the PixieBrix extension to Chrome's “Allow List” so that each team member can individually install the PixieBrix browser extension. See Browser Extension Installation Policy

  • Your team members will follow the instructions at Installing the PixieBrix Chrome Browser Extension

• Scenario #2: Automatic Installation. Add PixieBrix to Chrome's list of "Force Install" extensions to have Chrome automatically install the browser extension on team members' browsers.

  • Follow instructions at Browser Extension Installation Policy

  • Your team members will follow the instructions at Linking Your PixieBrix Account. Or configure SSO to authenticate users via automatically Setting Up SAML/SSO

• Scenario #3: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. If you use a VDI, such as Citrix, refer to the Automatic Installation instructions

  • Follow instructions at Browser Extension Installation Policy
