Steps
1. Create a Windows Run Script Job
- Log in to the SureMDM Web Console.

- Enter the appropriate script from the sections below.
2. To Enable Password Protection
Use the following script to enable the password prompt:
!#SureMDM ProtectAppStore 1 password 147258369
Note:
- Replace 147258369 with the password of your choice.
- The password must be added at the end of the command.
3. To Disable Password Protection
Use the script below to remove the password requirement:
!#SureMDM ProtectAppStore 0
Conclusion
Once the run script job is applied to the device(s):
- The SureMDM App Store will prompt for the configured password before allowing access. (As shown in the below picture)
- When password protection is disabled, users can open the App Store without entering a password.
