Device Provisioning
Device provisioning is the fastest way to set up devices with Fully Kiosk while providing better kiosk protection. Fully Kiosk supports all available methods of Android device provisioning. Device provisioning is free with your Fully PLUS License. Once configured, you can set up new devices with almost no manual effort.
Note that most provisioning methods require new or factory-reset devices. If Android setup has already started or finished on the device, it must be reset to factory settings. For Android 7+ devices, we recommend using the QR Code provisioning method. If you can’t reset the device, you can still use the ADB (manual) method.
You can configure the device provisioning and get instructions here:
This configurator offers only a few provisioning options. You can apply all app settings, use enterprises, add a device to the cloud, and more if you use provisioning profiles in your free Fully Cloud EMM account.

With all provisioning methods you can optionally:
- Add Device to Fully Cloud and Device Group automatically (Internet required)
- Add Device to Google Play Managed Enterprise (Internet and Android 6+ required)
- Import Configuration from Fully Cloud (Internet required) – Please create a Configuration in Fully Cloud first: You can import a Fully settings file (JSON) if you’ve already configured devices with Fully Kiosk or create a Configuration from scratch.
- Import Configuration from JSON file URL – You can put the settings file on the URL in your network if you don’t like to share it with Fully Cloud or if your devices don’t have any Internet access.
The provisioned device has a number of additional Device Owner Settings available for better kiosk-mode protection (such as disabling USB, ADB, the status bar, screen capture, safe mode, etc.).
With provisioned Android 6+ devices you can silently install/upgrade apps from APK file using the APK Files to install option in Device Owner Settings or the Install APK File button in Remote Admin. Installing APK files isn’t available if you install Fully Kiosk from Google Play.
Most, but not all, device types support device provisioning. For example, Fire OS devices don’t support it. Ask your device vendor if you are not sure.
Please keep at least one device of each type as a reference and for testing, and refer to this FAQ for recommended settings to secure kiosk mode.
Ask us if you need any support with device provisioning for Fully Kiosk. If you can’t use device provisioning you can deploy Fully app as described here.
