Description
NOTE:
1)
This App is for enterprise IT Admins to setup Knox policies on managed devices
2) This app uses Device Administration permissions to set up policies and manage Samsung Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE) enabled mobile devices
The Knox Service Plugin (KSP) is an app that supports a subset of Samsung Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE) features.
Enterprise IT Admins can use the KSP app to enable KPE policies on their managed devices. Once enabled, these devices can be deployed as fully managed, Knox Workspace or fully managed with Knox Workspace.
To enable this experience, IT Admins should use a compatible UEM/EMM solution provider that supports Managed Play Store and OEMConfig within their console and backend.
This application requires Android 9.0 and above for all deployment modes.
