Manage admins and roles

With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), admins responsible for account creation (Super Admins) are able to assign refined role permissions to each individual admin.

Each SCB account can be managed by multiple administrators.

Create a role

Roles are assigned to each admin to specify custom permissions and access. When View only permission is selected, no profile configuration, device management, license or reseller administration is permitted. Note that new roles will have the View only permission selected by default.

To create a role to assign to an admin:

  1. Once approved, sign in to the Knox Admin Portal.
  2. Select Administrators and Roles from the left-hand navigation menu.
  3. Select the ROLES tab.

  4. Click the CREATE ROLE button.
  5. Define the role details and permissions.
  6. Click Save.

Invite admins

  1. Once approved, sign in to the Knox Admin Portal.

  4. In the Invite administrator screen, enter the following information:

    • First Name — Provide the first name of the administrator resource for this invitation.
    • Last Name — Provide the last name of the administrator resource for this invitation.
    • Email — If this email is not already associated with a Samsung Account, the user will have to create a Samsung Account before logging in to Knox Configure. The creation of a Samsung account is required before an administrative account can be created.
    • Role — Use the drop-down menu to assign this new administrator a role that is appropriate to their intended administrative function. If unsure about the exact permissions of an available role, select View Role Details to review the scope of its available permissions.
  5. Select INVITE when completed.

The newly added administrator displays by name, with the email address displaying as a link that can be selected to update the administrator name and company management designation. If editing the administrator's profile, select Save to commit the updates.
