AccessPatrol’s Device Permissions
AccessPatrol lets administrators easily control peripheral device management permissions for the users and endpoints in their network by assigning Full Access, Read Only, and No Access device control policies.
The AccessPatrol device control solution will continue to enforce data protection policies even when managed devices lose connection to the CurrentWare server, allowing users to be monitored and managed when they are working offline or on another network.
- Full Access: The computer or user with this access permission can read and write to the specified removable device that is connected to the computer.
- Read Only: The computer or user with this access permission can only read the information from the specified external device that is connected to the computer. The user will not be able to copy any information to the specified external device. This option is only available to storage devices.
- No Access: The computer or user with this access permission cannot read or write to the specified external devices that are connected to the computer.
