7.9	Configuring priorities for permissions

When viewing permissions in users view, you can set device/port priorities for the device/port permissions you defined, on a user by user basis.

Screenshot 71 - Setting priorities for device/port permissions

For example, for a specific user you may decide to give priority 1 to USB port permissions, and priority 2 to CD/DVD drive permissions. This means that if the user connects an external CD/DVD drive via the USB port to the computer, permissions for the USB port will take precedence over permissions for the CD/DVD drive.

To set priorities:

1. Click on the Configuration tab.

2. Click Protection Policies.

3. From the left pane, select the protection policy for which you want to set priorities for permissions set.

4. From the right pane, select the permission for which you want to change the priority.

5. From the left pane, click Increase priority or Decrease priority.

6. Deploy the protection policy updates on to the computers included in the policy. From the left pane, right-click on the protection policy you configured and select Deployment ► Deploy agent(s).

NOTE: You can also use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + D to perform this step.
