Basic drive whitelist rule

You can easily create drive whitelist rules in the basic configuration. Proceed as follows to do so:

1. Click the Add whitelist rule... link to create a new whitelist rule.

2. Now provide the following information:

   • Vendor ID: Name or abbreviation of the drive vendor. You can also select a drive by searching for it with the ... button.

     The Installed drives dialog opens. Here you can select local drives or drives on a DriveLock Agent using the On agent option. You can use the Connect button to connect to the corresponding agent.

     DriveLock reads the hardware information from the Windows operating system. For this reason, DriveLock is only able to list drives that are actually in the Windows operating system.

   • Product ID: Unique ID of the product, assigned by the vendor.

   Each drive contains some information about the hardware it is based on (for example, the name of the vendor and the name of the product).

   With both options you can use wildcards: * for several characters, ? for exactly one character.
   

3. A serial number is added automatically if you check Only allow selected serial numbers in advance. Click Add to add more serial numbers.

4. On the Permissions tab, you can define the users or groups that will have access to the drive.

5. On the Options tab you configure additional settings (file filters, shadow copy, encryption, etc.).
