As an administrator, you have the ability to force-install apps and extensions for your end-users.  Any extensions installed in this way will be available to your users when they log into managed devices.

This article covers how to force-install Virtru on a Windows machine in a managed environment. Forced Installations will automatically push the Virtru extension to your users. All they need to do is activate Virtru and begin using.
