A new sign-in experience is coming to Samsung Knox cloud services. With the integration of Samsung Account for Business, IT admins can now manage work accounts with the same convenience as personal Samsung accounts—all while maintaining full corporate control.
This update replaces the existing customer Samsung account sign-in method with a business-ready alternative built for enterprise use. By switching to Samsung Account for Business, super admins can streamline user management, strengthen account security, and gain greater visibility and control over employee accounts.

What is Samsung Account for Business
Samsung Account for Business is a business-focused version of the standard Samsung account, designed to help organizations manage work accounts with greater oversight and security. It offers the same core functionality and user experience as a personal Samsung account, but adds powerful administrative controls that allow IT teams to manage users, verify company domains, and integrate with identity providers.
With this update, Samsung Account for Business is now supported across Samsung Knox cloud services, allowing enterprises to manage employee access consistently across portals such as the Knox Admin Portal*. Existing Samsung Knox customers can switch their sign-in method to this new account type for more centralized control and secure management across their organization.
How this update enhances account management
Previously, IT admins could only manage Samsung Knox cloud services access through individual Samsung accounts. In these setups, account ownership remained with the employee—meaning that if someone left the company, any corporate data tied to their personal Samsung account could not be recovered or reassigned.
With the addition of Samsung Account for Business, organizations can now manage their employees’ accounts under a single, company-controlled structure. Super admins can oversee the entire account lifecycle—from creation and assignment to suspension or removal—directly within a verified company domain.
For existing Samsung Knox customers who currently log in with Samsung accounts, this update introduces a straightforward sign-in transition rather than a full migration. All data and settings related to Samsung Knox are carried over as part of the transition, so there is no need to reregister or reconfigure their Samsung Knox environment. Super admins can switch their organization to Samsung Account for Business without disrupting access, and every admin’s personal Samsung account will continue to work with other Samsung services as usual.
By consolidating account management, organizations gain greater visibility, streamlined workflows, and stronger governance across all Samsung Knox portals—reducing administrative overhead and improving security with clearer separation between work and personal data within enterprise environments.
Improved benefits for your organization
Switching to Samsung Account for Business gives IT admins more flexibility and control over how employee accounts are managed within Samsung Knox cloud services. Designed to simplify account oversight and reduce manual work, it provides organizations with the tools they need to manage users efficiently and securely.
Key benefits include:
- Control accounts at scale: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of organizational accounts, with scalable onboarding and offboarding to reduce IT overhead.
- Enforce security and compliance: Safeguard corporate accounts and data with enterprise-grade authentication methods—ensuring work and personal data remain separate.
- Increase productivity and efficiency: Access industry-leading Samsung enterprise solutions, including Samsung Knox and Samsung Galaxy AI, to optimize day-to-day business operations.
Together, these improvements provide organizations a more stable, secure, and scalable foundation for managing access across Samsung Knox cloud services.

A unified future for the Samsung enterprise ecosystem

While the current integration focuses on Samsung Knox cloud services, this foundation will extend to other Samsung business products over time—enabling consistent and secure account management across devices, platforms, and services.
For IT admins, this means a future where user management is simpler, more secure, and truly organization-wide.
