The staging and shared kiosk users have different user experiences when logging in and out of the kiosk. If you have defined a pin in the staging kiosk policy, the staging user has access to the Exit Kiosk menu command within <font color="#323232">Settings</font>. However, the shared kiosk user has access to their permitted apps as well as to the <font color="#323232">Logout Kiosk</font> command.

Both the login and logout operations must be done when the device is online which allows a connection to the Ivanti EPMM server during these operations.
