How best to configure ipad as kiosk for single web page?

Bronze Contributor

I know I can configure Kiosk mode through intune to lock the ipad to a single app, but if that single app is Safari I need to restrict it to accessing a specified web site or sites.  Is this possible via Intune?

If not, does anyone have experience with a 3rd party browser for iOS with these capabilities that they would recommend?

I use Web Content Filter under Device Features profile (DEP Enrollment) and works great.

Hope this helps!

@Moe_Kinani Would it be possible to create a Web Link App and assign the Kiosk mode to start this App?

Did you get a reply about your weblink query and kiosk mode? I’m trying to work out as well

@Moe_Kinani How to define what page the safari browser should start on?

If you referring to homepage, it’s not possible. You can create bookmark sites and user will be allowed to browse to those site only.

From MSFT site:
Specific websites only (for the Safari web browser only): These URLs are added to the Safari browser's bookmarks. Users are only allowed to visit these sites; no other sites can be opened. Use this option only if you know the exact list of URLs that users can access.
URL: Enter the URL of the website you want to allow. For example, enter https://www.contoso.com.
Bookmark Path: Apple changed this setting. All bookmarks go into the Allowed Sites folder. Bookmarks don't go in to the bookmark path you enter.
Title: Enter a descriptive title for the bookmark.
If you don't enter any URLs, then users can't access any websites except for microsoft.com, microsoft.net, and apple.com. These URLs are automatically allowed by Intune.
