7 Device Access Manager for HP
ProtectTools (select models only)
HP ProtectTools Device Access Manager controls access to data by disabling data transfer devices.
NOTE: Some human interface/input devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, TouchPad, and
fingerprint reader, are not controlled by Device Access Manager. For more information, see
Unmanaged Device Classes on page 54.
Windows® operating system administrators use HP ProtectTools Device Access Manager to control
access to the devices on a system and to protect against unauthorized access:
●
Device profiles are created for each user, to define the devices that they are allowed or denied
permission to access.
●
Just-in-time authentication (JITA) allows predefined users to authenticate themselves in order to
access devices which are otherwise denied.
● Administrators and trusted users can be excluded from the restrictions on device access
imposed by Device Access Manager by adding them to the Device Administrators group. This
group's membership is managed using Advanced Settings.
●
Device access can be granted or denied on the basis of group membership or for individual
users.
●
For device classes such as CD-ROM drives and DVD drives, read access and write access can
be allowed or denied separately.
