Before you begin

To administer a customer account using Knox MSP, you must have either a new or existing Samsung account, which authenticates you to manage the customer's Knox cloud services on their behalf. You do not need a Samsung account for every customer you manage, which is the case if customers use Knox cloud services themselves.

Create a Samsung account

1. Go to the Samsung account creation page.
   
   
NOTE — Make sure you are logged out of any other Samsung portal that requires a Samsung account (Knox Portal, Reseller Portal, Knox Configure, Knox Mobile Enrollment, etc.). If a 'not authorized' message persists, submit a Support ticket.
2. Select Enroll from the upper, right-hand side of the screen.

3. Enter your business email address and select NEXT. Personal email accounts, such as Gmail and Hotmail, are not accepted in the portal.

4. If you already have a Samsung Account linked with this email address, select Sign in. Otherwise, AGREE to the listed Terms and Conditions, Terms or Service and Samsung Privacy Policy required for account creation.

5. Fill out the required fields and select NEXT to complete the Knox Portal registration process.

6. Once submitted an email is sent to the email address provided with a link for account activation. Select DONE to acknowledge the message.

7. Upon receipt of the email, select the provided link to activate your account.

MSP account activation post-approval

Once an MSP account registration is approved by a Samsung admin with the appropriate permissions to do so, the MSP receives a Service account approved email. Select the Sign in link within the body of the email to launch MSP.

If the MSP account is rejected, the email states that the service account was declined.

Launch MSP from the Knox Portal

Once registered, access MSP via the Knox Dashboard. When logging into the Knox Dashboard, the requester will utilize separate Reseller and MSP fields for accessing services.

1. From the Knox Dashboard, navigate to the Knox MSP Portal panel and select LAUNCH.

2. If the MSP account has not been approved, a Thank you for applying for the Knox MSP Program screen displays stating your application has been received and is being reviewed.

Once your application has been approved, selecting LAUNCH CONSOLE from the Knox Dashboard displays the Knox MSP Program. You can now use the Knox MSP portal.

NOTE - If Samsung rejects the MSP application, a Samsung Admin gets the rejected status and can help you with re-submission.
