Users sometimes need administrator rights to install software or complete a defined endpoint task. Retaining local administrator rights after that work is complete extends elevated access beyond the immediate requirement.
Heimdal Privileged Elevation and Delegation Management lets users request temporary privileges. It applies automated decisions and application approval rules to defined requests, and routes higher-risk requests for approval. This provides administrative access for approved endpoint work without retaining standing local administrator rights.
The product is suited to endpoint tasks that require temporary administrative access, including software installation. Defined applications can be approved automatically for elevation, while requests requiring greater scrutiny are sent through an approval workflow.
Mobile approvals support timely decisions when an authorised approver is away from their desk.
