9Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools

This security tool is available to administrators only. Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools has the following security features that protect against unauthorized access to devices attached to your computer system:

●Device profiles that are created for each user to define device access

●Device access that can be granted or denied on the basis of group membership

NOTE: Device Access Manager uses Windows Local Users and Groups to manage access. Windows Home versions do not support Local Users and Groups, therefore Device Access Manager will not function properly. However, Device Access Manager will work in Microsoft Windows Vista Home version if you use DOS commands for the user setup. Refer to the Device Access Manager help file for instructions.
