Camera Restriction Policy

Created by Vasu VS, Modified on Mon, 20 Apr at 1:15 PM by Vasu VS

The Camera Restriction Policy in the Quantem Console allows admins to control camera access on managed kiosk devices through the Kiosk profile settings. Admins can choose to completely disable the camera, always keep it enabled, or give the user the flexibility to toggle camera access themselves. This setting is configured under the Policy Settings section within the Kiosk profile and is applied to all devices assigned to that kiosk profile or group.

Steps to Configure Camera Restriction

Step 1: Navigate to Kiosk
From the left-hand navigation, click on Kiosk. All existing kiosk profiles will be listed.

Step 2: Create or Edit a Kiosk Profile

Create New — Click Create Kiosk to start a new kiosk profile
Edit Existing — Click the three-dot menu ( ⋮ ) on an existing kiosk row and select View/Edit Details

Step 3: Whitelist Apps
Inside the kiosk profile, add and whitelist all required applications for the kiosk as needed before proceeding to settings.

Step 4: Open Kiosk Settings
Once the apps are configured, click on Settings in the top-right corner of the kiosk profile screen.

Step 5: Navigate to Policy Settings
In the Settings page, scroll down to locate the Policy Settings section.

Step 6: Configure Camera Access
Under Policy Settings, locate the Camera Access option. Select one of the three available options:

Camera Access Option	Description
User's Choice	The user on the device has the freedom to enable or disable the camera themselves. The admin does not enforce any camera restriction
Disabled	The camera is completely disabled on the device by MDM policy. Users cannot access or use the camera in any app
Enforced	The camera is always enabled and enforced by MDM policy. Users cannot disable or restrict camera access on the device

Step 7: Save the Kiosk Profile
After selecting the desired Camera Access option, click Save to apply the configuration to the kiosk profile.

Step 8: Assign the Kiosk Profile
Assign the saved kiosk profile to the target device or group:
