Block Users from USB Drive/Devices and CD-Rom

[tanapon]

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 in my company. I would like to block all users from using USB Drive/Devices and CD-Rom for security resons and to prevent my employees from stealing data.

In Users Settings, I tried unchecking some items in User Privileges tab but it didn't work.

Thank you!

Not something I'm an expert on, but as a second step after unchecking stuff in User Privileges make sure the restricted users aren't in groups like "adm", "cdrom", "dialout", "plugdev", "lpadmin".

See the Gnome Policykit wizard.

I can't do that. There is no "Marked this thread as solved" under Thread Tools menu even after I logged in.
