Kiosk mode adds an extra level of security for shared devices.
When enabled, after # minutes of inactivity on Blink, which can be configurable by org, the logged-in user will be automatically logged out. Kiosk mode also has a shortcut button on the main screen to quickly log out when a user wants to finish their session.
Setting up Kiosk Mode via MDM
To launch this within your organisation, you will need to provide Blink with a few organisational details from your MDM. Please speak to your CSM or Blink's support team to relay your request.
Blink will add your details from their side, so that the Blink Kiosk app will be made visible in the app store from your MDM. After that, it's a matter of deploying the app to your fleet, and that should be it.
The details slightly defer if you are aiming to deploy Blink Kiosk on Android or iOS. Details further below.
Providing Android details to Blink
📝 For Android/Google, we require their Organisation ID as per this article: https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/7042126?hl=en
✅ Once setup on Blink's side, you must search for ‘Blink Kiosk’ in the Google Play Store from your MDM. No link can be provided.
Providing iOS details to Blink
📝 Blink also requires your Organisation ID and Organisation name as registered in your Apple Business Manager app.
✅ Once setup, you should be able to search 'Blink Kiosk' from your Apple App Store with your MDM.
