       The usbguard-daemon is the main component of the USBGuard software framework. It runs as a service in the
       background and enforces the USB device authorization policy for all USB devices. The policy is defined by
       a set of rules using a rule language described in usbguard-rules.conf(5). The policy and the
       authorization state of USB devices can be modified during runtime using the usbguard(1) tool.

       The daemon provides the USBGuard public IPC interface. Depending on your distribution defaults, the
       access to this interface is limited to a certain group or a specific user only. Please refer to the
       usbguard-daemon.conf(5) man page for more information on how to configure the ACL correctly. DonotleavetheACLunconfiguredasthatwillexposetheIPCinterfacetoalllocalusers.ThatwillallowthemtomanipulatetheauthorizationstateofUSBdevicesandmodifytheUSBGuardpolicy.
