Will users have option to Encrypt the partitions using Safeguard client

We have a requirement, will users have option to encrypt the partitions manually like right click on the drives and Encrypt


or

Is there any option in Safeguard client where users select the partitions and encrypt.

  • Hello Sunil,

    Good question - this isn't something that's handled at a user level, the policies applied to the machine specify whether a hard drive should be encrypted or not. However, if you do want to give your users some measure of control you can allow them to decrypt the drive by setting the Device Protection policy to User may decrypt volume = Yes. Once a drive has been decrypted the user will be able to manually re-enable the encryption if they so wish.
