Quickstart: configure a kiosk with Assigned Access

• Koskee seuraavia::

  ✅ Windows 11, ✅ Windows 10

This quickstart provides practical examples of how to configure a kiosk experience on Windows with Assigned Access. The examples describe the steps using the Settings app, a mobile device management solution (MDM) like Microsoft Intune, provisioning packages (PPKG), and PowerShell. While different solutions are used, the configuration settings and results are the same.

The examples can be modified to fit your specific requirements. For example, you can change the app used, the URL specified when opening Microsoft Edge, or change the name of the user that automatically signs in to Windows.

Prerequisites

Here's a list of requirements to complete this quickstart:

• A Windows device
• Microsoft Intune, or a non-Microsoft MDM solution, if you want to configure the settings using MDM
• Windows Configuration Designer, if you want to configure the settings using a provisioning package
• Access to the psexec tool, if you want to test the configuration using Windows PowerShell

Configure a kiosk

The following instructions provide details about how to configure your devices. Select the option that best suits your needs.

Intune/CSP

Tip

Use the following Graph call to automatically create a custom policy in your Microsoft Intune tenant without assignments nor scope tags.

When using this call, authenticate to your tenant in the Graph Explorer window. If it's the first time using Graph Explorer, you may need to authorize the application to access your tenant or to modify the existing permissions. This graph call requires DeviceManagementConfiguration.ReadWrite.All permissions.

Alternatively, you can configure devices using a custom policy with the AssignedAccess CSP.

• Setting: ./Vendor/MSFT/AssignedAccess/Configuration
• Value:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AssignedAccessConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2017/config" xmlns:rs5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/201810/config" xmlns:v4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2021/config">
  <Profiles>
    <Profile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}">
      <KioskModeApp v4:ClassicAppPath="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" v4:ClassicAppArguments="--kiosk https://www.contoso.com/ --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --kiosk-idle-timeout-minutes=2" />
      <v4:BreakoutSequence Key="Ctrl+A" />
    </Profile>
  </Profiles>
  <Configs>
    <Config>
      <AutoLogonAccount rs5:DisplayName="MS Learn Example" />
      <DefaultProfile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}" />
    </Config>
  </Configs>
</AssignedAccessConfiguration>

Assign the policy to a group that contains as members the devices that you want to configure.

PPKG

Use the following settings to create a provisioning package:

• Path: AssignedAccess/MultiAppAssignedAccessSettings
• Value:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AssignedAccessConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2017/config" xmlns:rs5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/201810/config" xmlns:v4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2021/config">
  <Profiles>
    <Profile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}">
      <KioskModeApp v4:ClassicAppPath="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" v4:ClassicAppArguments="--kiosk https://www.contoso.com/ --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --kiosk-idle-timeout-minutes=2" />
      <v4:BreakoutSequence Key="Ctrl+A" />
    </Profile>
  </Profiles>
  <Configs>
    <Config>
      <AutoLogonAccount rs5:DisplayName="MS Learn Example" />
      <DefaultProfile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}" />
    </Config>
  </Configs>
</AssignedAccessConfiguration>

Apply the provisioning package to the devices that you want to configure.

PowerShell

Configure your devices using PowerShell scripts via the MDM Bridge WMI Provider.

Important

For all device settings, the WMI Bridge client must be executed as SYSTEM (LocalSystem) account.

To test the PowerShell script, you can:

1. Download the psexec tool
2. Open an elevated command prompt and run: psexec.exe -i -s powershell.exe
3. Run the script in the PowerShell session

$assignedAccessConfiguration = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AssignedAccessConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2017/config" xmlns:rs5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/201810/config" xmlns:v4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2021/config">
  <Profiles>
    <Profile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}">
      <KioskModeApp v4:ClassicAppPath="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" v4:ClassicAppArguments="--kiosk https://www.contoso.com/ --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --kiosk-idle-timeout-minutes=2" />
      <v4:BreakoutSequence Key="Ctrl+A" />
    </Profile>
  </Profiles>
  <Configs>
    <Config>
      <AutoLogonAccount rs5:DisplayName="MS Learn Example" />
      <DefaultProfile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}" />
    </Config>
  </Configs>
</AssignedAccessConfiguration>
"@

$namespaceName="root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap"
$className="MDM_AssignedAccess"
$obj = Get-CimInstance -Namespace $namespaceName -ClassName $className
$obj.Configuration = [System.Net.WebUtility]::HtmlEncode($assignedAccessConfiguration)
Set-CimInstance -CimInstance $obj

Settings

Here are the steps to configure a kiosk using the Settings app:

1. Open the Settings app to view and configure a device as a kiosk. Go to Settings > Accounts > Other Users, or use the following shortcut:

   Other Users

2. Under Set up a kiosk, select Get Started

3. In the Create an account dialog, enter the account name, and select Next

   Note

   If there are any local standard user accounts already, the Create an account dialog offers the option to Choose an existing account

4. Choose the application to run when the kiosk account signs in. Only apps that can run above the lock screen are available in the list of apps to choose from. If you select Microsoft Edge as the kiosk app, you configure the following options:

   • Whether Microsoft Edge should display your website full-screen (digital sign) or with some browser controls available (public browser)
   • Which URL should be open when the kiosk accounts signs in
   • When Microsoft Edge should restart after a period of inactivity (if you select to run as a public browser)

5. Select Close

User experience

After the settings are applied, reboot the device. A local user account is automatically signed in, opening Microsoft Edge.
