KNOX-07-006100 - The Samsung Android 7 with Knox must be configured to disable multi-user modes.

Information

Multi-user mode allows multiple users to share a mobile device by providing a degree of separation between user data. To date, no mobile device with multi-user mode features meets DoD requirements for access control, data separation, and non-repudiation for user accounts. In addition, the MDFPP does not include design requirements for multi-user account services. Disabling multi-user mode mitigates the risk of not meeting DoD multi-user account security policies.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47b

Solution

Configure the Samsung Android 7 with Knox to disable multi-user modes.

On the MDM console, deselect the "Allow multi-user mode" setting in the "Android MultiUser" rule.

Note: This requirement is only applicable for tablet devices.
