Configuring an Approved List of USB Devices

The approved list for USB devices supports the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard. Replace any field with the asterisk (*) to include all devices that satisfy the other fields. For example, [vendor]-[model]-* places all USB devices from the specified vendor and the specified model type, regardless of serial ID, to the approved list.

  1. Click Approved devices.
  2. Type the device vendor.
  3. Type the device model and serial ID.
    Tip:

    Use the Device List Tool to query devices connected to endpoints. The tool provides the device vendor, model, and serial ID for each device.

  4. Select the permission for the device.

    For details about permissions, see Permissions for Storage Devices.

  5. To add more devices, click the plus (+) icon.
  6. Click < Back.
