Create a device template

Prev Next

Device templates (definitions) specify the properties of a device to trigger the rule.

Device templates can be created as described below, by importing from a CSV file, from a device plug incident in the DLP Incident Manager, or with a script containing REST API calls. The administrator running the script must be a valid ePO - On-prem user who has permissions in ePO - On-prem Permission Sets to perform the actions that are invoked by the APIs.

Tip

Create excluded plug-and-play definitions for devices that do not cleanly handle management, which could cause the system to stop responding or create other serious problems. No action is taken on these devices even when a rule is triggered.
