Why would you log in as root and expect all of the kiosk permissions to apply to the root user? In such a system I would expect the root user to be used specifically by the system admin to be able to change the kiosk settings and use a separate user for normal kiosk operation.

first,thank you for your advice。I login as other user but not root,the result is the same with former.The restriction is no success.
Would you tell me the more information?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the use of the kiosk functionality aside from just that it exists for such purposes.
