Device enrollment
Knox Manage supports several enrollment methods, including Knox Mobile Enrollment for bulk automated provisioning, manual enrollment via QR code or email invitation, and Android Enterprise enrollment methods. The enrollment method determines how much control the organisation has over the device and whether the user can remove the management profile.
Management modes
Knox Manage supports multiple management modes depending on the deployment scenario:
- Fully managed devices: organisation owns and controls the entire device; users cannot remove management
- Work profile: organisation controls a separate work profile alongside the user's personal data; personal data remains private
- Company-owned work profile: organisation owns the device but uses a work profile to separate corporate and personal data
- Dedicated devices / kiosk: device is locked to a single app or set of apps for a specific purpose
Policy management
Administrators can apply policies controlling device settings, app installation, network access, camera use, screen capture, password requirements and many other aspects of device behaviour. Policies can be targeted to groups of devices, and different policies can apply to the work profile and personal side of a device.
Remote management and monitoring
Knox Manage provides remote capabilities including device location tracking, remote lock, remote wipe, application deployment, configuration updates and device health monitoring. Administrators can view device inventory, compliance status and attestation results from the cloud console. These capabilities help organisations maintain security and compliance across their device fleet.
