One of the things that we need to specifically focus on is how we're going
to let administrators configure this particular mode in EMM. I believe,
"Kiosk" can be thought of as an extension of "Locked-down mode", in which
one/limited number of applications are allowed to be enforced on the
device. So, the user interface has to clearly highlight the aforementioned
fact rather than just having another option as part of its policy wizard to
switch it on and off.

In addition, certain enterprise applications that are running in Kiosk mode
might use the camera, or certain other features, which would be made locked
if the "default Kiosk mode" is applied in EMM. So, in the UI, there has to
be some mechanism to enforce certain exemptions too upon similar features
used by the applications that are running in the aforementioned mode.

Cheers,
Prabath
