A device template is a list of device properties such as bus type, device class, vendor ID, and product ID.
The role of device templates is to identify and group devices according to their common device properties. Some device properties can be applied to any device template, others are exclusive to a specific device type or types.
Available device template types are:
Trellix DLP Endpoint - SaaS for Windows only:
Fixed hard drive devices attach to the computer and are not marked by the operating system as removable storage. Trellix Device Control can control fixed hard drives other than the boot drive.
Excluded plug and play devices do not interact with device management properly and might cause the system to stop responding or cause other serious problems.
Note
Excluded Plug-and-Play Device Templatesare added automatically to the excluded list in every plug-and-playTrellix Device Control rule. They are never managed, even if the parent device class is managed.
Trellix DLP Endpoint - SaaS for Windows and Trellix DLP Endpoint – SaaS for Mac
Plug and play devices are added to the managed computer without any configuration or manual installation of DLLs and drivers. Plug-and-play devices include most Microsoft Windows devices. On Trellix DLP Endpoint – SaaS for Mac, they are supported for USB only.
Removable storage devices are external devices containing a file system that appear on the managed computer as drives.
You can also create device group templates, which are collections of previously defined device templates. Device groups must specify only one operating system, either Microsoft Windows or macOS.
Removable storage device templates are more flexible and include additional properties related to the removable storage devices.
Tip
Use the removable storage device templates and rules to control devices that can be classified as either, such as USB mass storage devices.
