The Admin console has been updated with a new user setting.
  • SafeSearch for Google Web Search and Safety Mode for YouTube can now be independently configured on Chrome 41 and above. 
    • For users using devices running Chrome 40 and prior, enabling any setting that turns on SafeSearch will also turn on Safety Mode for YouTube. This includes the settings "Always use SafeSearch for Google Web Search and Safety Mode for YouTube queries" and "Always use SafeSearch for Google Web Search queries only."
    • The setting "Always use Safety Mode for YouTube queries only" will not work on devices running Chrome version 40 and prior.
