Multi-user shared deviceSolved

I have a need to supply a maintenance team a single Android tablet but allow individual maintenance techs the ability to log into their own profile.  Is this possible?  Like a multi-user profile kiosk mode.  This way we lock down the device to specific apps, but each user can open Outlook, for example, to view their company email.

Hi Leer,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

We currently do not have the option of Multi-user profile Kiosk, where you can push Multiple Kiosk profiles to the device.

However, we would be glad to raise the feature request on your behalf for a Multi kiosk profile within the device where the user can use the user-specific credentials and they would be directed to the corresponding profile within the device end. This way, the user can access only their specific profile and not the other user profile. This can be considered similar to logging in to different user accounts within a Windows device.

We are grateful for the time you have taken to provide your valuable feedback.

To check on the current set of features that are supported for Android Kiosk mode, please refer: https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/getting-started-with-android-kiosk-management/ 

Jump on a free 30-day trial to explore the features supported for managing the Android device from the Hexnode portal. Here is the help link for the same: https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/cloud/signup/

Please note that we do have a 15 minimum device count when going for a subscription.

Cheers!
