Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device is configured to Disable Admin Remove. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Allow Admin Remove" checkbox in the "Android Restrictions" rule. 2. Verify the checkbox is not selected. On the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, do the following: 1. Open the device settings. 2. Select "Lock screen and security". 3. Select "Other security settings". 4. Select "Device (or Phone) administrators". 5. Verify the enterprise MDM agent is on and cannot be turned off. If the MDM console "Allow Admin Remove" checkbox is selected or on the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, "Device administrators" can be turned off, this is a finding. |
