Setting Device Connection Policies

Setting Device Connection Policies

Click the + sign to open the Device connection folder, then select a device to specify who is allowed to connect and disconnect that device. The list for a specific virtual machine shows only the devices actually configured for that virtual machine. To add devices, use the virtual machine settings editor (VM > Settings).

You may select one of the following options for each device:

  • No one — End users may not connect and disconnect the device.
  • Everyone — All end users may connect and disconnect the device.
  • Users and groups — Specified users or members of specified groups defined in your Active Directory service have permission to connect and disconnect the device. Click Add to add a user or group to the list. To remove a name from the list, select the name of a user or group in the list, then click Remove.
  • Determine using script — Use your own custom plug-in to determine what settings are applied. Click Set to open a dialog box that lets you locate the plug-in script file and specify the command line for running the script. You may also specify a timeout interval in case the script does not run to completion. For more information, see Device Connection Plug-Ins.
