Setting up Samsung Android kiosk mode

To set up a Samsung Android kiosk device for single-app mode:

• Create an Android kiosk policy.

To set up a Samsung Android kiosk device in multiple-app mode:

1. Create an Android kiosk policy.
2. Create one Android kiosk configuration for each combination of LDAP group and accessible apps.

Device users must belong to the designated LDAP groups.

The policy specifies the kiosk type. The configuration specifies which apps to display to which users in multiple-app mode.

The following instructions assume that the apps are already installed on the devices. If an app specified in the kiosk setup is not installed on the device, that app is represented by a blank icon.
