Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Certificate management settings User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Certificate management settings Description
Setting the policy to All (0) or leaving it unset lets users edit trust settings for all CA certificates, remove user-imported certificates, and import certificates using Certificate Manager. Setting the policy to UserOnly (1) lets users manage only user-imported certificates, but not change trust settings of built-in certificates. Setting it to None (2) lets users view (not manage) CA certificates.

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
