Kiosk mode 1803 version, allow user to change wifi password

Daniel Morales 

Hi Daniel,

Can you make it a little clearer or provide step by step procedure.

How did you allow SETTINGS in a multi-app kiosk and how did you use device restrictions policy to only allow WIFI. If you use AUMID, may I see the xml file?

Hi,

Thank you for replying - I have to admit I was worried that the post being 2 years old would mean I wouldn't be able to find you! Your post has been the only one I have ever found that indicates there is a way to do this.

So this is exactly the problem I am running in to - I can't access Settings at all. I've been at this a week, trying all kinds of things to enable access. I placed that AppUserModeID entry in the allowed apps section of the Xml file but it still says the admin has blocked access when trying to access the shortcut I placed on the tile menu for WiFi settings. 

Could you share what you used in your xml file that enabled the Settings part to work? A copy of your xml file perhaps? This is the one last item stopping us from being able to loan these devices to clients for each run of our youth employment program.

This is what ours looks like right now. It produces the tiles and access to programs that we want, but not to WiFi, Microphone, Camera and Printer settings. Those all show up as "blank" tiles, and if you click them it says it is a blocked item. I hope it doesn't look to messed up in pasting it here...
