Overview

With Knox Service Plugin, you can configure the Set Power ON when connected to power source policy to automatically start a device when connected to a power source. Some users need this setting because they’re using kiosk mode in Knox Manage, but require their devices to automatically start.

For Galaxy devices running Android 12 and lower, this feature is only compatible with Qualcomm and LSI chipsets.

For Galaxy devices running Android 13 and higher, this feature is compatible with all chipsets.

How to automatically start a device with Knox Service Plugin

To enable the Set Power ON when connected to power source policy:

  1. On the Knox Manage console, go to Profile.

  2. Create a new profile or modify an existing profile.

  3. Expand the Samsung Knox > Knox Service Plugin policy group, and set the following policies:

    Policy Value
    Device-wide policies > Enable device policy controls True
    Device-wide policies > Device Settings (Premium) > Enable device settings controls True
    Device-wide policies > Device Settings (Premium) > Set Power ON when connected to power source True

  4. Click Save & Assign to save your changes and assign the profile to your device group.

You can check if the Knox Service Plugin policy has been applied by the status of Applied Policy in the device’s details.
