@cdaters These ES CLI switches may come in handy:

--force-kiosk: Volatile setting of Kiosk Mode when UI is set to Full mode.
--force-disable-filters: Disable Kiosk (and/or Kid) mode when UI mode is set to Kiosk (resp. Kid). Attn: This switch will be persisted if any change is made in the Settings via ES UI, otherwise it is volatile.
