Manage VPP users

Last updated November 23rd, 2023

On this tab

You can add iOS device users who are enrolled in Knox Manage as VPP users. Use the User page to add VPP users and send them an invitation message. Device users can then accept this invitation to become full VPP users. If a device user doesn’t accept the invitation on their devices, you can resend the invitation. When VPP users are removed or their statuses are changed on the Knox Manage console, you can synchronize the user information with the VPP website.
