Trusted devices are devices to which users that are specified in the trusted device settings have full access at all times.
To work with trusted devices, you can grant access to an individual user, to a group of users, or to all users of the organization.
For example, if your organization does not allow the use of removable drives but administrators use removable drives in their work, you can allow removable drives only for a group of administrators. To do so, add removable drives to the trusted list and configure user access permissions.
It is not recommended to add more than 1000 trusted devices, as this can cause system instability.
