Creating a Samsung Android kiosk configuration for multiple-app mode

The Samsung Android kiosk configuration has the following functions:

  • Specifies the apps to be displayed for multiple-app devices
  • Specifies which LDAP groups, (and, therefore, which users) have access to those apps

You can apply more than one kiosk configuration to a single device. The union of the configurations determines which apps to display.

The LDAP group access specified in the configuration would effectively disable the specified apps on a single-app mode device.

Do not add the Ivanti Mobile@Work app to an Android Kiosk Configuration. This usage is not supported and can cause errors.

Procedure

  1. Go to Policies & Configs > Configurations.

  2. Select Add New > Android > Android Kiosk Mode.

    The New Android Kiosk App Setting dialog box opens.

  3. If you intend to use LDAP groups to restrict access to apps on kiosk devices, then select the LDAP groups you want to allow. You can choose from the LDAP groups that you specified in Services > LDAP for each LDAP server.

    These users will have access to the specified apps on kiosk devices, that is, those devices that have a kiosk policy applied.

    To enable all kiosk users to have access to all specified apps, do not select any LDAP groups.

    The available LDAP groups are based on the last sync between Ivanti EPMM and the LDAP server. If you made a recent change to LDAP data, it will not be reflected until the next sync (scheduled or manual).

  4. Select the apps you want to make accessible for kiosk devices that receive this configuration. See Setting the kiosk policy for Android managed devices for how to do this.

    Note that the name displayed is the common name for the app. The package name is the unique identifier determined by the app developer.

    Do not add the Ivanti Mobile@Work app to an Android Kiosk Configuration. This usage is not supported and can cause errors.

  5. Select Save.
  6. Assign the configuration to the appropriate label to push it to the target devices. One or more kiosk configurations may be applied to a single device.
