Knox Configure

Last updated October 7th, 2025

Knox Configure is a cloud-based solution designed to simplify the setup and customization of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches1, ensuring devices are ready for use as soon as they’re activated. It allows enterprise IT admins to remotely manage device configurations, such as installing essential apps, adjusting settings like camera permissions or Bluetooth functionality, and applying branded content like themes and boot animations—all from a single, easy-to-use web interface.

By leveraging over-the-air (OTA) provisioning, Knox Configure automatically configures devices as soon as they connect to a network, eliminating the need for manual setup and ensuring consistency across all devices. For your organization, this means faster deployment times, reduced IT workload, and a seamless experience for end-users, as devices are tailored to your business needs right out of the box.

How does Knox Configure work?

Knox Configure enables IT administrators to remotely customize and deploy Samsung Galaxy devices through a cloud-based platform. Here’s a simple breakdown of how Knox Configure works from an IT admin’s perspective:

Intro to KC diagram

  1. You access Knox Configure by signing into the Knox Admin Portal.
  2. Once signed in, you create a Knox Configure Profile for your target device type (phone/tablet, watch, accessory).
  3. During profile creation, you customize the device’s apps, settings, and appearance. For example, you can add unique apps, pre-configure Wi-Fi access points, and set default the default wallpaper.
  4. Once profile is created, you assign the profile to your device fleet.
  5. After new or factory reset devices turn on and connect to a mobile or Wi-Fi network, your profile is automatically downloaded and applied to the device.
  6. Device users can begin using their devices (with your settings applied) without requiring any additional setup or configuration.
