Application file access protection rules can be used to block the use of CD and DVD burners for copying classified information.

    Note

    To allow non-tenant administrators to add users, groups, or organizational units, they must have the permission to browse the configured Active Directory. To assign the permission, add a new role or edit an existing role for the non-tenant administrator and assign the Browse Active Directory permission. You can set the permission from MenuConfiguration Users & RolesSelect specific user or roleTrellix ePolicy OrchestratorCloud Directory ServicesBrowse Active Directory.

    Exception definitions can include any field that is in a condition definition. You can define multiple exceptions to use in different situations. One example is to define "privileged users" who are exempt from the rule.
