desc: |-
Configuring this policy allows to specify which variations are allowed to be applied on an enterprise-managed <ph name="PRODUCT_OS_NAME">$2<ex>Google ChromeOS</ex></ph> device.
Variations provide a means for offering modifications to <ph name="PRODUCT_OS_NAME">$2<ex>Google ChromeOS</ex></ph> without shipping a new version by selectively enabling or disabling already existing features. See https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=Manage_the_Chrome_variations_framework for more information.
Setting the <ph name="VARIATIONS_ENABLED_OPTION_NAME">VariationsEnabled</ph> (value 0), or leaving the policy not set allows all variations to be applied to <ph name="PRODUCT_OS_NAME">$2<ex>Google ChromeOS</ex></ph>.
Setting the <ph name="CRITICAL_VARIATIONS_ONLY_OPTION_NAME">CriticalFixesOnly</ph> (value 1), allows only variations considered critical security or stability fixes to be applied to <ph name="PRODUCT_OS_NAME">$2<ex>Google ChromeOS</ex></ph>.
Setting the <ph name="VARIATIONS_DISABLED_OPTION_NAME">VariationsDisabled</ph> (value 2), will prevent all variations from being applied to the browser on the login screen. Please note that this mode can potentially prevent the <ph name="PRODUCT_OS_NAME">$2<ex>Google ChromeOS</ex></ph> developers from providing critical security fixes in a timely manner and is thus not recommended.
