With Device Control enabled, every time the local user connects an unrecognized USB device to the protected endpoint, a pop-up notification will be displayed on the StellarProtect/StellarProtect (Legacy Mode) agent console for the local user to check and confirm if the USB device access is allowed. In addition, the associated event log will also be generated to notify the StellarOne administrator.
The StellarOne admin can grant one-time access to the unrecognized USB via the event action available on the blocked USB event. The USB will then be temporarily recognized as a trusted USB device and granted access until disconnected from the endpoint. On top of that, the StellarOne admin can choose to add the USB to the Trusted USB Device list via the policy settings, allowing it to access directly and permanently without further check.

Note
In addition to USB devices, StellarProtect (Legacy Mode) also supports blocking CD/DVD drives and floppy disks on managed endpoints with Device Control enabled.
