Allowing USB usage

[Swi]

Hi guys,
We just received new laptops and users can't install new hardware (mouse, usb key, ...) without having an administrator entering the admin password... Is there a trigger somewhere that we could activate to allow the full control over usb ports?

Thx!

This is not specific to USB ports, but it should allow non-admin accounts to install hardware.

Start>Run>gpedit.msc
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights.
Look for "Load and unload device drivers" and double-click it to add other users/groups besides Administrators.

Thanks NetRyder, that's exactly what I was looking for! I knew it would be in gpedit but couldn't found it
