Information

Web Extensions must first be approved by IT Security and then whitelisted before they can installed on any web browsers that are syncing to GRCC Google accounts.

Check the Knowledge Article listing Approved and Unapproved Web Browser Extensions to determine the best resolution.

Alternatively

If the extension is on the approved list and is still showing as blocked by administrator your machine may be in need to some updates. If your computer has been off campus for longer than a month, new group policies will need to be applied which can only be done by connecting to GRCC Secure for a minimum of 15 minutes.
