Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools
Device Access Manager can be used to restrict the use of various internal and external storage
devices so your data will remain secured on the hard drive and not walk out the door of your
business. An example would be to allow a user access to your data but block them from copying it to
a CD, personal music player, or USB memory device. Below is an easy way to set this up.
1. Click Start > All Programs > Security and Protection > Administrative Console > Device
Access Manager > Simple Configuration.
2. Select the hardware devices that you want to restrict, and then click the Apply button to finish
the process.
3. The next step is to select who will continue to have access while everyone else is blocked.
4. Select Advanced Settings, click the + sign, then click Advanced > Find Now.
5. Select Users or Groups then click OK > OK > Apply.
