# How do I set up Kiosk Mode on a shared device?

## Enable Kiosk Mode and configure a shared device for team use.

### Overview

The **Allow Kiosk Mode on devices** setting enables a shared device experience where users can access certain parts of Shifty without needing to sign in individually.

Kiosk Mode also allows employees to access their profile without the need to use their personal device.

When this setting is turned on, Shifty automatically generates a unique 4-digit PIN for each user at the location.
