Security Solutions FAQ
Can I Set Unique Device Restrictions for Different Computers or Users?

To do this, AccessPatrol’s management console allows you to create group folders with separate policies. This feature is perfect for blocking USB devices for employees while still providing access for trusted administrators that need unrestricted access.
You can also use the access code generator to temporarily grant access to all peripherals or use the device scheduler to automatically allow/block devices at specific times.

Device control with AccessPatrol
Will My Employees Know They Are Being Monitored?
As with any CurrentWare Suite product, your organization is in control of how visible the endpoint security solutions are.
AccessPatrol does not disclose when its USB activity monitoring feature is active. When your employees attempt to use an unauthorized USB device they can be presented an optional warning message.
The CurrentWare software client that is used by our endpoint security solutions operates in stealth mode by default.
In stealth mode, the CurrentWare software client is not visible in the system tray or control panel of the employee’s computer. Your employee will not be able to uninstall the program or stop it without administrator privileges.
If you would like your employees to be aware that they are being monitored, you can choose to show the CurrentWare software client in their system tray by enabling it in the client software settings.
If you would like to disable monitoring altogether, visit this article: How Do I Disable AccessPatrol’s Device Tracking?
How Can I Start Protecting My Data?
