Create a serial number and user pair definition

Prev Next

You can create exceptions for Plug and Play and removable storage device rules based on paired device serial numbers and user identities. By linking the device to the logged on user, you create a higher level of security.

Obtain the device serial numbers for the devices you are adding to the definition.

You can create a serial number and user pair definition by importing the information in CSV format. You can also export existing definitions in CSV format.

Tip

Serial number and user pair CSV files use multiple columns. Export a definition to understand how the columns are populated before creating a file for import.

Note

Serial number and user pair definitions are not supported on Trellix DLP Endpoint for Mac.
