Editing a device access rule

Depending on the type of device, you can modify various access settings, such as the list of users receiving access to the device, the access schedule, and allowed / blocked access.

To edit a device access rule:

1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
2. In the application settings window, select Security Controls → Device Control.

   The Types of devices tab contains access rules for all devices that are included in the classification of the Device Control component.

4. Select the access rule that you want to edit.
5. Click the Edit button. This button is only available for device types which have a file system.

   The Configuring device access rule window opens.

   By default, a device access rule grants all users full access to the specified type of devices at any time. In the Users and / or groups of users list, this access rule contains the All group. In the Rights of the selected group of users by access schedules table, this access rule contains the Default schedule for access to devices, with the rights to perform all types of operations with devices.

6. Click the Select button.

   The Select users and/or groups window opens.

7. Do the following:
   • To add users or user groups to the table in the Select users and/or groups window:
     1. In the Select users and/or groups window click the Add button.

        The standard Select users or groups window in Microsoft Windows opens.

     2. In the Select users or groups window in Microsoft Windows, specify users and / or groups of users for which Kaspersky Endpoint Security recognizes the selected devices as trusted.
     3. In the Select users or groups window click the OK button.

        The names of users and / or groups of users that are specified in the Select users or groups window of Microsoft Windows are displayed in the Select users and/or groups window.

   • To delete users or user groups from the table in the Select users and/or groups window, select one or more rows in the table and click Delete.

     To select multiple rows, select them while holding down the CTRL key.

9. In the Rights of the selected group of users by access schedules table, configure the schedule for access to devices for the selected user and / or group of users. To do this, select the check boxes next to the names of the access schedules for devices that you want to use in the device access rule that is to be edited.
10. To edit the list of access schedules to devices, use the Create, Edit, Copy, and Remove buttons in the Rights of the selected group of users by access schedules table.
