Restrict an Android device via MEM without using Dedicated device config

Question

Hi everyone!

I have been trying to find a way to enroll Android phones provided by the company with restricted capabilities (access to only certain apks) but the only method I have found is setting up the device as "dedicated device" and kiosk it.

The kiosk option sounds great, What I am not sure yet is the licensing part, so I'm trying to avoid it.

So, to avoid using a device license, can the configuration of a kiosk device be emulated with Fully Managed Device enrollment?

@Antonio Santiago Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Please note that kiosk mode is only supported in Android dedicated devices. It is not supported in Android fully managed Device.

In my test environment, I didn't have intune device license and I can enroll the device using android dedicated enrollment method. It is suggested to try it.

However, to avoid any unexpected issue in the future, it is suggested to contact Volume Licensing Service Center to confirm if a device license is required.
