Device Administrators group

When Device Access Manager is installed, a Device Administrators group is created.

The Device Administrators group is used to exclude trusted users (trusted in terms of device access) from the restrictions imposed by a Device Access Manager policy. Trusted users usually include System Administrators.

NOTE: Adding a user to the Device Administrators group does not automatically allow the user to access devices. In the Device Class Configuration view, if the Users group is denied access to a device, the Device Administrators group must be granted access in order for members of the group to have access to the device. However, the Simple Configuration view can be used to deny access to device classes for all users who are not members of the Device Administrators group.

To add users to the Device Administrators group:

1.In the Advanced Settings view, click +.

2.Enter the user name of the trusted user.

3.Click OK.

4.Click Apply.

eSATA Device Support

In order for Device Access Manager to control eSATA devices, the following must be configured:

1.The drive must be connected when the system starts up.

2.Using the Advanced Settings view, ensure that the eSATA drive letter is not in the list of drives for which Device Access Manager will not deny access. If the eSATA drive letter is listed, delete the drive letter, and then click Apply.

3.The device can be controlled using the Removable Media device class, by using either the Simple Configuration view or the Device Class Configuration view.
