Step 3: Deploy the browser extension

Sonar’s browser extension helps collect accurate data on software usage and simplifies access request management. Follow the tutorial to deploy the extension across your organization or start by installing it for yourself. Automated deployment options are available through Intune/GPO policies or trough Google Workspace.

Depending on your goal, you can deploy either anonymous or identified browser extensions. Feel free to ask if you are not sure of which one to use.
