Device Control Deny Removable Storage

[benedicttsy]

Hi, I would like to check if McAfee Device Control can take precedent to GPO policy. For example when GPO Deny Removeable Storage, and use Device Control to allow to certain user to use Removable Storage. Is this situation possible? Thank you.

So, you have a windows GPO that's blocking access to removable storage, and you'd like Device Control to override the windows GPO and allow access? I don't think that's possible since Device Control doesn't work off of GPOs, it uses its own policies and rulesets to block or allow access. You can set someone as a privileged user in your Device Control policy, but windows will still block access per the GPO.
