Device control

Here you can specify whether the respective device cannot be used at all (block access), whether only data can be downloaded from it without data also being stored on it (read access) or whether there are no restrictions (full access). This rule then applies to all users of your computer.

If you want only certain users to be granted restricted rights for storage media, you can first select the user name of the co-user registered on your computer in this area, and then restrict access to the respective storage medium as described under General rules. In This way, you can allow yourself full access as administrator and owner of the computer, but restrict the rights of other users.

Select the user here.

If you now click on OK, another dialogue opens in which you can specify which access type is desired for this user and whether the permission for this user is limited to a certain period of time (Validity).

When using removable data carriers such as USB sticks or external hard disks, you can also specify that only certain removable media may access your computer. To do this, connect the removable data carrier to your computer and then click on the Add button. In the dialogue that now appears, you can select the device.

If you now click on OK, another dialogue opens.

In this dialogue you can specify which type of access is desired for this data carrier, whether the use of this data carrier is limited to a certain time (validity) and whether each user can use this data carrier under his or her user access or not. :gdata: G DATA :manServ: G DATA Management Server :mainServ: G DATA MainServer :secondaryServ: G DATA SecondaryServer :subnetServ: G DATA SubnetServer :secClient: G DATA Security Client :lightAgent: G DATA Light Agent :bSol: G DATA Business Solutions :bSupp: G DATA Business Support :admin: G DATA Administrator :webAdmin: G DATA Web Administrator :mobileAdmin: G DATA Mobile Administrator :portableAdmin: G DATA Portable Admin Launcher :vrss: G DATA Virtual Remote Scan Server :avc: G DATA AVCleaner :mailSec: G DATA Exchange Mail Security :fireWall: G DATA Firewall :shred: G DATA Shredder :webProtec: G DATA WebProtection :mailSecLinux: G DATA Linux Mail Security Gateway :webProtecLinux: G DATA Linux Web Security Gateway :sambaPlug: G DATA Samba Plugin :mdm: G DATA Mobile Device Management :quarTool: G DATA Quarantäne Tool :pwMan: G DATA Passwort Manager :secCenter: G DATA Security Center :tuner: G DATA Tuner :bCleaner: G DATA Browser Cleaner :mobSeciOS: G DATA Mobile Security iOS

Our software now also protects you against a new threat: infected USB sticks that can pretend to be a keyboard for your operating system and can thus inject malware.

The software will inform you if your system assumes that a USB device is a new keyboard when it is plugged in and you can confirm that it is or is not by entering a PIN.
