Configure kiosk PIN per campus

Each campus has its own kiosk PIN. This lets you rotate one campus’s PIN without affecting the others.

Create or change the PIN

1. Settings → Campuses → [Campus] → Kiosk.
2. Kiosk PIN: type 4 to 6 digits.
3. Confirm by repeating the PIN.
4. Save.

The change is immediate. Any device in PIN mode for that campus prompts for the new PIN on the next tap.

PIN best practices

• Don’t use 1234, 0000, or the current year.
• Rotate quarterly or when volunteers change.
• Don’t write it on the device or on a sticky note attached to the kiosk.
• Share it through a secure channel (DM, not a big WhatsApp group).

Start the kiosk on a device

1. On the device, open: https://<your-tenant>.ministrium.com/kiosk.
2. Sign in once with an org_admin or campus_admin account.
3. Go to Kiosk mode → Activate.
4. Pick the campus to operate.
5. The device enters PIN mode and is ready.

From there, anyone in front of the device needs the PIN to do anything.

Remove kiosk mode from a device

If the device is leaving the church, deactivate kiosk mode:

1. Tap the lock icon → Exit kiosk mode.
2. Enter the PIN or admin credentials to confirm.
3. Session closes and device behaves as a normal browser again.

Audit

Every PIN change is logged:

{
  "action": "kiosk.pin.changed",
  "campus_id": "c_downtown",
  "actor_user_id": "u_42",
  "occurred_at": "2026-04-15T14:23:00Z"
}

The PIN never appears in logs or exports. Only the change event.
