MANAGED SETTINGS can be set up quickly and easily through Urmobo EMM. This guide covers only policy configuration and does not extend to Entities.
Prerequisites:
You'll note in the below configuration steps, nowhere is it mentioned to import or attempt to configure the native Settings application. For the Kiosk use case, blocking Settings (com.android.settings
) through the install type of Blocked will prevent MANAGED SETTINGS from working.
It is not necessary. Native Settings needs not be present in the application list at all.
Head to Management > Policies from the left-hand navigation, and create or select a policy for editing.
Scroll down to Play Store and in the open window, search for BAYTON MANAGED SETTINGS, or org.bayton.managedsettings
if the former returns no results.
Click the icon to select the app.
Select an appropriate Install Type. I have selected Force Installed however it is your choice. A type that prevents uninstallation is ideal.
Click Select
MANAGED SETTINGS will appear in the apps table above.
Click the 3 dots menu icon to the left of the app icon, and select Managed Configuration.
In the below section, provide a configuration name, set the appropriate configs, and click Save.
Scroll up to Kiosk, and configure the kiosk environment. I have selected the native Android Kiosk, but you may prefer the Urmobo Kiosk.
Select Blocked for Device settings, and configure any additional kiosk settings as desired.
Save your policy, configuration is complete.
