Configuring the Approved List Parent topic

After setting up the Approved List, users can add new programs by clicking Add Item, which displays the options in the following table.

Methods for Adding Applications to the Approved List

Option When to Use
Manually browse and select files
Choose this option when the software already exists on the endpoint and is up-to-date. Adding a file grants permission to run the file, but does not alter the file or the system.
For example, if Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) is not in the Approved List after initial setup, users can add it to the list using the console.
Automatically add files created or modified by the selected application installer (Trusted Updater)
Choose this option when you need to update or install new applications to your managed endpoint without having to unlock Trend Micro Safe Lock. Trend Micro Safe Lock will add any new or modified files to the Approved List.
For example, if Mozilla Firefox needs to be installed or updated, select this option to allow the installation or update, and also add any files created or modified in the process to the Approved List.
