Create an app lock mode profile

Specify a single app to run on devices and select the device settings that you want to enable for the user. For supervised

 MDM, specify the app package identifier that you want to set as the home screen. For 
Windows 10
 devices managed using MDM, specify the account and the Application User Model ID (AUMID) of the app. Visit docs.microsoft.com to find the AUMID.
If the user does not install the app on a device, when you assign the profile to a user or user group the device is not restricted to the app.
