What exactly does Block on Hard Devices setting protect against specifically?

Security Control setting > Device Contorl setting > Device and WiFi~ > Hard Devices > Block

Hello msj0191,

that is really meaning the Control of Hard Drives but should be used carefully.

So if you add Users and give them a Schedule Plan when they could Access the Hard Drives you don't have to forget that System User should have access too.

That is meaning Read / Write Permissions on the Hard Drives and additional a Schedule Plan like only on Business hours etc.

If you wanne try what this is blocking you better try it with Removable Drives.

Hello THask,

Thanks for the reply.

 

I was able to create the file even after removing user write access to the hard drive as you mentioned. 

I checked the USB as a removable device, but not the hard drive.

 

How can I test blocking the hard drive instead of the USB device?

Best Regards,
