Hi,

I was wondering what the difference is between the KioskMode and Admin/Usermode

There are actions to enable/disable Kiosk mode and also enable Admin/User mode, as well as legancy scripts for _adminmode and notify kiosk

Thanks

Hi Adam,

kiosk mode is displaying a lockdown kiosk (if a relevant profile exist for this device).
You can turn it off but still are in user mode while if you sewitch to admin mode it's turned off and all user restrictions are gone as well.

Hi Rafael,

That's great info thank you for clarifying.

Out of interest then, can you give me a couple of examples of the restrictions a device has in user mode that arent applied for admin mode?

Thanks

Adam

This depends on your setup.

I think the best example is, if you deploy a feature control profile where you limit access to change wifi, bluetooth or tethering etc.. In user mode those limitations are in place but in admin mode you have full access.

There can be several more such examples depending on your setup.
