Remote Actions that work in Kiosk mode for ChromeOS devices

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a few Chromebooks that I intend to use at my hotel’s reception for check-ins. I have tried Kiosk mode in ChromeOS vaguely for some of the existing Chromebooks in my organization, but I would like to know more about the remote actions I can perform through Hexnode in my devices, so that I can fully leverage my new devices for my purpose.

Automatically log users out in guest session

We have company chromebooks that multiple people use, so we’ve set up guest sessions. The problem is that some users don’t log out when they’re done, they just close the lid and leave. This could lead to serious issues. Is there any way to automatically log users out after a guest session?

What is this ghost window restriction in ChromeOS?

I noticed a setting called ghost window under the Android runtime for chrome section in the Advanced restrictions. What exactly does this do? Is it anything like that ghost window problem on Windows 11 where a small transparent box gets stuck above the taskbar?
