Action to take when the user closes the lid

Setting the policy specifies the action that Google Chrome OS takes when the user closes the device's lid.

Leaving the policy unset means the Suspend action is taken.

Note: If the action is Suspend, Google Chrome OS can separately be set up to lock or not lock the screen before suspending.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
