Using the Samsung Knox Container

Important: Samsung Knox 3.4 deprecated Knox Workspace containers. As a result, SOTI MobiControl 15.0, and later no longer supports the creation, modification, or deployment of Samsung Knox containers to devices. If you assigned a Samsung Knox container before upgrading to SOTI MobiControl 15.0 or later, the container remains on the device, but you cannot modify or assign new containers.

Learn how the Samsung Knox Workspace container deprecation may affect you at Samsung Knox Workspace Container Deprecation.

Tip: Consider migrating your Samsung Knox container devices to use Android Enterprise Managed Profiles, which offer similar containerization functionality.

This section consists of the following topics:

SOTI MobiControl supports the activation and usage of Samsung Knox Workspace on Samsung devices. Samsung Knox Workspace is a secure container that stores enterprise data on the phone, separating it from personal data. You can use SOTI MobiControl to manage your corporate data within the container.

Samsung Knox Workspace is not available on all Samsung devices. To enable the container, the Samsung device must support the API Knox v1 or later (visible in the Device Information panel).

The Android Plus platform subsumes Samsung devices with the activated Samsung Knox Workspace container. The Android Plus platform performs enrollment, remote control, and all other device management.

Note: Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment is another feature of the Samsung MDM platform, but it is completely independent of Samsung Knox Workspace. You do not need to enable one to use the other. See Using Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment for more information.
