11 Device Access Manager for HP
ProtectTools (select models only)
Windows® operating system administrators use Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools 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.
●
Users are also organized into groups, such as the predefined Device Administrator group, or groups
can be defined using the Computer Management option in the Administrative Tools section of the
Control Panel.
●
Device access can be granted or denied on the basis of group membership.
●
For device classes such as CD-ROM drives and DVD drives, read acess and write access can be
allowed or denied separately.
Limited users can also be granted permission to read and modify the device access control policy.
