Requesting clarifications about the Sophos product

Question

Dear Team, 
 
 Hope you are doing good. 
 
 I have some questions to get answers regarding the Sophos product. 
 1. Is it possible to integrate Sophos with an AD solution, so it will be easy for us to manage? 
 2. Is it possible to set an expiration time for enabling the USB policy? Policy should be expired once the period is over. 
 3. Is it possible to get one maintenance token for all the host computers? In case if we need to plug a USB device into the computer we can use that code for temporary USB enables without logging into the Sophos console.

Hi IT Lion, 
 Thank you for reaching out to us via The Sophos Community, Please find the answers below 
 Q: Is it possible to integrate Sophos with an AD solution, so it will be easy for us to manage? A: Yes. Active Directory integration is possible. 
 Active Directory Synchronization Setup imports the following objects from AD: 
 
 Username 
 Login 
 Email address 
 Groups and the members of each group

You can learn more about AD integration and Synchronization by visiting the link below https://docs.sophos.com/central/customer/help/en-us/PeopleAndDevices/DirectoryService/SetUpSynchronizationWithActiveDirectory/ADSyncInstallFAQ/index.html 
 
 Q: Is it possible to set an expiration time for enabling the USB policy? The policy should be expired once the period is over. A: At the moment, Sophos central does not have the option to set an expiry date for the policy. 
 Q: Is it possible to get one maintenance token for all the host computers? In case if we need to plug a USB device into the computer we can use that code for temporary USB enables without logging into the Sophos console. A: I understand that you are looking out for specific features of Peripheral control in our product. Token management is not specific to the host, however, Sophos central has API integrations , if you are looking out for token management for the whole central account. The article below explains the features that our peripheral control policy supports. https://docs.sophos.com/central/customer/help/en-us/ManageYourProducts/EndpointProtection/ConfigureDeviceControl/index.html 
 Hope this answers your query.
