## Lets get started!
Before you can configure Microsoft Edge kiosk mode, you must set up Microsoft Edge in assigned access. With assigned access, you restrict a local standard user account so that it only has access to one Windows app, such as Microsoft Edge in kiosk mode. You can set up Microsoft Edge kiosk mode in assigned access using:
- **Windows Settings.** Best for physically setting up a single device as a kiosk. You can configure Microsoft Edge in single-app (kiosk type full-screen or public browsing) and define a single URL for the Home button, Start page, and New Tab page. You can also set the reset after an idle timeout.
- **Windows Settings.** Best for physically setting up a couple of devices as kiosks. You can configure Microsoft Edge in single-app (full-screen or public browsing as the kiosk type) and define a single URL for the Home button, Start page, and New Tab page. You can also set the reset after an idle timeout.
- **Microsoft Intune or other MDM service.** Best for setting up multiple devices as a kiosk. With this method, you configure Microsoft Edge in assigned access and configure how Microsoft Edge behaves when its running in kiosk mode with assigned access.

### Use Windows Settings
Windows Settings is the simplest and easiest way to set up one or a couple of devices because you must perform these steps physically on each device. This method is ideal for small businesses.

1. In Windows Settings, type **kiosk** in the search field and select **Set up a kiosk (assigned access)**.
When you set up a single-app kiosk device using Windows Settings, you must first set up assigned access before configuring the device. With assigned access, you restrict a local standard user account so that it only has access to one Windows app, such as Microsoft Edge, in kiosk mode.
