In Knox Mobile Enrollment, enrolling a device or assigning a profile to a device involves a series of steps that is accompanied by a change either to the status of the device enrollment or profile assignment.

Android Enterprise

device workflow status

When you enroll devices, they enter an enrollment state. Depending on the action you take, devices are in one of the following enrollment states:

  • Pending — The reseller has added the device but the IT admin hasn’t verified the reseller yet.

  • Unassigned — No profile is assigned to the device.

  • Failed to assign — The profile couldn’t be assigned to a device. Requires a review of the profile information.

  • Profile assigned — A profile is assigned to the device, but the device user hasn’t completed the enrollment process yet. Unassigning the profile transitions the device state back to Unassigned.

  • Canceled by user — A profile has been assigned to the device, but the end user canceled the enrollment process.

  • Failed to enroll — The device failed to enroll for reasons other than the end user canceling the process.

  • Enrolled — The device is successfully enrolled, typically by the end user.
