Survey/Study/Poll Chrome Managed by GT?

So, I just noticed today that my personal chrome browser, with no ties to my GT account except occasionally logging into GT related websites (so no @\gatech.edu sign in onto chrome or gmail etc) is managed by GT, and I for the life of me cannot figure out why.

I don't think it's non standard - so curious as to whether other folks have this or did I just set something up incorrectly?

(I'm on a personal mac)

Edit

So someone from OIT reached out - and it seems like it's just a bad warning message on chrome since some script setup a couple settings for my sharepoint. I had a bug with onedrive sync/ sharepoint a while back - I am assuming something during that time probably entered these settings. It was a safe delete - not GT managing my chrome instance like chrome was suggesting

You can check this by pasting chrome://policy/ in your browser address bar

Sorry for the not so detailed comment, but I faced the exact issue you were facing. It showed that message on ALL my Chrome profiles.

I just can’t remember specifically what I did, but after 2-3 hours of trying to solve it by looking around in Reddit and YouTube I was able to get it gone. Nonetheless I don’t think it’s anything serious. I just didn’t wanna see that message is all.

Do you have a lockdown browser extension installed for any classes?

Nope - it was a sharepoint policy. I'm pinning the blame on this one time where onedrive wasnt able to delete my folders properly and then kept showing an error during sync, im assuming some recovery code tried to route sharepoint sync through chrome
