Knox Admin Portal 26.06 release notes

Last updated June 17th, 2026

New

Support for Android 12

Starting from KCS 26.06, the minimum supported OS version for Knox cloud services is Android 12.

New tile and dashboard for device lifecycle and security monitoring (Labs)

The Knox Admin Portal 26.06 release introduces a new Device lifecycle summary tile on the Dashboard, providing an easy way to track security status and lifecycle metrics across your fleet of devices.

Clicking the tile opens the new Security dashboard, which offers detailed security and lifecycle analytics for your device fleet. It also includes OS and security patch data from Knox E-FOTA and fleet vulnerability and integrity details from Knox Asset Intelligence.

Additionally, you can now enable periodic email notifications for security lifecycle alerts in the Email preferences page > General Settings section. For more information, see Security dashboard and Customize the portal.

Centralized management of EMM credentials

Previously, EMM credentials were managed in the Knox Mobile Enrollment console. With the 26.06 release, a new EMM CREDENTIALS tab is added to the Enrollment page, allowing you to manage EMM user ID and passwords without navigating to the Knox Mobile Enrollment console. For more information, see Manage EMM credentials.

New actions and role permissions

With this release, you can use the updated Actions menu in the common device list to assign EMM credentials and enroll devices without navigating to service-specific consoles. The Actions menu on the Enrollment page is also updated to manage EMM credentials.

New permissions for these actions are now available on the ROLES tab. Additionally, the common Profiles section on the tab is now renamed to Enrollment.
