Device Control in OneView lets you block or restrict USB storage devices to read-only access. Use the allowlist to exclude specific USB devices from control.
Allow USB drives
If a USB device has already been blocked, select the activity on the Device Control > Activity page and click Actions > Add to Allowlist.
Otherwise, proactively add USB devices to the allowlist to override your policy settings and prevent them from being blocked on your endpoints.
To add a USB drive to the allowlist:
- Go to Device Control > Allowlist.
- Click Add device.
- Identify the USB Drive by at least one of the following:
- Vendor name
- Product name
- Serial number
- Select whether to enforce the allowlisting on all endpoints or just endpoints on any of the selected policies.
- Add optional comments.
- Choose whether the rule is enabled or disabled.
- Click Save.
Notes
- To delete a rule, check the checkbox next to a rule and click Delete > Delete.
- To temporarily disable a rule without deleting it, find and disable the toggle under the Status column for the allowlist rule.
