Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shared Device Mode?

Shared Device Mode enables multiple users securely share a single device, with isolated sessions and automatic data wipes between logins.

How does session reset work?

When a user logs out, Bento MDM automatically clears all session data, restoring the device to a clean state for the next user.

Which devices support this mode?

You can enable Shared Device Mode on smartphones, tablets, kiosks, and rugged Android or Windows endpoints.

Can I restrict apps per user?

Yes. Bento MDM allows you to assign role-based app sets so each user can access only the tools and apps they need.

Is offline use supported?

Absolutely. Shared Device Mode policies and session resets remain active even when devices are offline.

How do users authenticate?

Users can log in via PIN, badge scan, QR code, or SSO, whichever best fits your environment.

Can I track usage metrics?

Yes. Bento provides session logs and usage reports, showing login times, durations, and device utilization patterns.

How does this improve compliance?

Automatic data wipes and role-based access reduce risk of data leakage and help meet industry regulations.
