System Manager USB lock?

[LeonJVR1]

Hi everyone,

Can someone tell me if its possible to block any devices(Mac's/Laptops) USB ports on System Manager?

I have googled it and found some old threads that say its not possible but nothing in regards to the latest SM.

@LeonJVR1 I don't believe so, there are no "Finder" settings configurable in systems manager. Currently its very limited in what it can do for MacOS devices.

If you are just looking to block mass storage USB devices you can use the following profile
