Can you elaborate further? Do you want to switch between User Mode and Admin Mode using a Javascript based script? Do you want to insert Javascript into the HTML template? Or something else?

If the "LOCK" action is to be interactively initiated by MobiControl administrator via the web-console, the SIMPLEST approach is to deploy a profile with virtually no app item in a kiosk/lockdown-menu payload.  Revoking such profile has the effect of UNLOCKING the device for normal day-to-day operation.

Depending on your MobiControl version and device version/enrollment-mode, a similar alternative may be possible by deploy a profile with virtually  empty app whitelist in an application-run-control payload.

Both of the above seems to be much simpler than sending a correct multi-line javascript file involving "mobicontrol.lockdown" class.

The requirements here are unclear, but I am interpreting this as to mean that you have a Lockdown profile applied to the device and you would like to enable or disable the lockdown from the SendScript action feature.

Javascript Engine

To disable lockdown:

mobicontrol.lockdown.disable

To enable Lockdown:

mobicontrol.lockdown.enable

Legacy Android Script Engine

To disable lockdown:

notify kiosk off

To enable Lockdown:

notify kiosk on

NOTE: This will not put the device in Admin mode. It will only just toggle the lockdown (kiosk).

Hi Mattia,

Thank you for posting on SOTI Central.

Thank you for Matt Dermody, Raymond Chan, TJ Bukoski and Patrick B for responding to the post.

I am unsure about the question to send the script to the device to lock user to access to apps.


1. If you would like to lock out all the apps on the device (the Lockdown screen will be blank with no apps on it). Please kindly follow the instruction that Raymond Chan suggested.

2. If you would like to allow users to have access to some apps in the Lockdown kiosk, please configure the apps access in the Lockdown profile.

In addition, if you would like to send the script to apply the Kiosk screen back to the device (the device must already have a Lockdown profile assigned), then please send the below script to the device.

notify kiosk on
