Power settings

Awake setting

Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS keeps managed Chromebook devices awake even when the users aren’t active.

The awake setting feature is disabled by default.

How to configure

To enable the feature, edit the Google Admin Console policy and set the value of the keep_awake_level property under power_settings to either “system” or “display” and then restart the session.

The “system” level keeps the system awake, but allows the screen to be dimmed or turned off. The “display” level keeps the system awake and active.
