How to detect if the app is running in assigned access?

Question

Is there an API available for detecting if the app is running with assigned access activated?

If not is there some other way of detecting it. I would like to hide some of the features of my app when running with assigned access / Kiosk Mode.

Answer 2

In Windows 8.1 you can choose an account to have access to only one application (assigned access) that automatically starts up when you login with that account. What I want to know is if my application is running due to the fact that that user logged in.

Answer 3

Can we have an answer about this? I too would like my application to be able to know whether it is running in Assigned Access mode.

Answer 4

The app does not have knowledge of this nor can you query for this.  You should design an app for Assigned Access separately from a standard app.
