9.2 Removable Drives List

In versions of ZENworks prior to version 11.4.2, the Removable Drives list is used for providing device definitions (or filters) for the Storage Device Control policy. Beginning with ZENworks 11.4.2, the USB Devices list, rather than the Removable Drives list, is used with the Storage Device Control policy; the Removable Drives list is no longer used with any policies.

Name

Specify a display name to be used for the device when it is added as an object in ZENworks Control Center. The name is for display purposes only; it is not part of the device filter used to match detected devices.

Enforcement

Select the enforcement level to assign to the device:

  • Enable Access: Read and write access is allowed.

  • Disable Access: All access is prevented. When users attempt to access files on the device, they receive an error message from the operating system or from the application attempting to access the local storage device, indicating that the action has failed

  • Read-Only Access: Read-only access is allowed. When users attempt to write to the device, they receive an error message from the operating system or from the application attempting to access the local storage device, indicating that the action has failed

  • Default Access: Give the device the default access defined in the Storage Device Control policy to which the device data is imported.

Serial Number

Description

Comment:

Specify a comment. This field is not used to match devices, so it can include any text you want.
