This document contains examples of device control policies that you can customize for your own organization. These examples are applicable if you are using JAMF to manage devices in your enterprise.
Restrict access to all removable media
The following example restricts access to all removable media. Note the none permission that is applied at the top level of the policy, meaning that all file operations will be prohibited.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>deviceControl</key>
<dict>
<key>removableMediaPolicy</key>

<key>enforcementLevel</key>
<string>block</string>
<key>permission</key>
<array>
<string>none</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Set all removable media to be read-only
The following example configures all removable media to be read-only. Note the read permission that is applied at the top level of the policy, meaning that all write and execute operations will be disallowed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>deviceControl</key>
<dict>

<string>block</string>
<key>permission</key>
<array>
<string>read</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Disallow program execution from removable media
The following example shows how program execution from removable media can be disallowed. Note the read and write permissions that are applied at the top level of the policy.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>deviceControl</key>
<dict>

<string>block</string>
<key>permission</key>
<array>
<string>read</string>
<string>write</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Restrict all devices from specific vendors
The following example restricts all devices from specific vendors (in this case identified by fff0 and 4525). All other devices will be unrestricted, since the permission defined at the top level of the policy lists all possible permissions (read, write, and execute).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<key>permission</key>
<array>
<string>read</string>
<string>write</string>
<string>execute</string>
</array>

<dict>
<key>permission</key>
<array>
<string>none</string>

</dict>

</dict>

</dict>
</plist>
Restrict specific devices identified by vendor ID, product ID, and serial number
The following example restricts two specific devices, identified by vendor ID fff0, product ID 1000, and serial numbers 04ZSSMHI2O7WBVOA and 04ZSSMHI2O7WBVOB. At all other levels of the policy the permissions include all possible values (read, write, and execute), meaning that all other devices will be unrestricted.
