Bulk device operations
Last updated June 26th, 2024
Knox Mobile Enrollment allows you to easily assign profiles to a large number of devices in your fleet at a time. In bulk, you can:
- Assign one or more Android Enterprise or Android Enterprise (Advanced) profiles and device user credentials using a CSV file.
- Upload one or more device user credentials.
- Delete one or more devices.
Assign user credentials in bulk
For bulk operations, the user IDs and profile names that you profile in CSV files are case-sensitive and must exactly match the strings as they appear on the console.
On the Bulk actions tab, you can click View instructions for an in-console explanation of how to format the CSV file.
Assign a profile and users to devices
You can assign a single profile to up to 10,000 devices at a time. While you’re doing this, you can also assign existing users to these devices, set their password, and optionally pass bespoke JSON data about the device to the EMM.
You first need to prepare a CSV file that contains the following fields:
Column A | Column B | Column C | Column D | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Field | Device IMEI or serial number | User ID | Password | (Optional) JSON data for EMM |
Example | 350925370583126 | alex_doe@example.com | QSu7hdD5, | {"gid":"AE-DO"} |
To assign user credentials and a profile to multiple devices at a time:
-
On the Devices page, open the Bulk actions tab.
-
Click Assign user credentials and same profile.
-
Select a CSV file containing device IMEIs and user credentials.
-
(Optional) Configure profiles and tags:
-
Select a profile from the Modify profile of selected devices list. You can also click Clear profiles to unassign a profile and remove profile assignments from multiple devices in the uploaded CSV file.
-
Enter one or more Tags for the devices.
-
-
Click Submit.
Assign user credentials and multiple profiles
You can assign credentials and profiles for up to 100,000 users at a time. You first need to prepare a CSV file that contains the following fields:
Column A | Column B | Column C | Column D | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Field | Device IMEI or serial number | User ID | Password | Profile name |
Example | 350925370583126 | alex_doe@example.com | QSu7hdD5, | Facility A devices |
When assembling a CSV file for assigning multiple profiles, the profile currently assigned to the device will be retained if you don’t fill the profile column in the file.
To assign one or more profiles to a batch of device users at a time:
- On the Devices page, open the Bulk actions tab.
- Click Assign user credentials and different profile. Here, you can assign multiple profiles to different device users.
- Select a CSV file containing IMEIs and user credentials.
