3.4.5 Adding a Device Manually
You may want to add devices manually (not via the Add Approved Device wizard), as in the case
of devices that have not been connected to any endpoint in your organization and therefore do
not appear in the SafeGuard PortAuditor audit results. Depending on whether you are adding
an Approved Model or a Distinct Device, the Add Device Model or Add Distinct Device window
opens when you click Add Device(s) Manually in the Edit Group window or when you select
Add Manually from the right-click menu described in Adding Devices above.
The instructions that follow apply both when adding storage devices (in Storage Control) and
when adding non-storage devices (in Device Control).
Note: When you add a device that already belongs to another device group in this policy, and
the groups' permissions differ, the most permissive will apply. For example, if the Approved
Models group that contains a storage device is set to Allowed, and the distinct device is set to
Read Only, the Allowed permission will apply. Log and Alert settings will also be taken from the
most permissive definition.
In cases where a device belongs to more than one group, and those groups have the same
permissions, SafeGuard PortProtector will choose between the groups arbitrarily. If the groups
do not have the same log and alert settings, it cannot be predicted which settings will apply.
