How can I make it so after a set amount of time the device goes to a app and the app can not be exited until you fill out a sign in and after the set amount of time it "Signs you out" bringing you back to the form.

 

Thanks

Ian Nelson

Jamf is always a good resource.  Be sure to use “temporary session” 😁

For macOS, this is a somewhat easy task (can be scripted). For iOS/iPadOS, it’s limited to what the app offers as inactivity sign out. 
 

Can you provide your entire workflow?

I am using a ipad for kids in my org and I want the parents to be able to chose apps that are blocked and after 10 minutes it resets to the app.

So the app “resetting” would be limited to the app.  For parental control, have you checked out Jamf Parent?

Well I checked out Jamf parent and it is not what I am looking for I want it so it can be for multiple people to use like an example is a public computer it will sign out of everything after a set amount of time.

Yea the only thing that you can maybe do is setup Guest mode with a timeout/logout after inactivity for mobile.  That’s what I would be looking at.  Every login gets a new profile.

Do you know how to set that up. A Google, YouTube, or any website will work for me. Thanks!
