You can set up the Centralized Scanning Profile of a MetaDefender Drive from OPSWAT Central Management (OCM). The profile assigns an approver to the drive. The approver adds the drive to a 2-FA authenticator app and provides the 6-digit code to operators who need to unlock restricted actions.
This page covers enrolling the profile. To remove it, see Centralized Scanning Profile - Unenrolling from OPSWAT Central Management.
