Admin By Request Overview
Admin By Request is a security and privilege management solution designed to enhance the security of organizations by allowing users to run applications with elevated privileges without giving them full administrative rights. This helps prevent the risks associated with unrestricted administrative access, promoting the principle of least privilege.
This documentation provides IT administrators with detailed guidance on effectively using the Admin By Request platform, including managing roles and permissions, using the admin portal, and configuring security settings.
Key Features
Admin By Request offers several key features aimed at improving security, compliance, and administrative oversight:
1. Run as Admin
Admin By Request allows end-users to run specific applications with administrative privileges when necessary. However, these permissions are tightly controlled and logged, ensuring that elevated privileges are only granted when needed.
Key aspects of this feature include:
- Temporary elevation of privileges for end-users without granting full admin rights.
- Full audit logs of all elevated actions for compliance purposes.
- Reduced risk of malware and unauthorized changes by limiting the scope of admin privileges.

3. Security and Audit Logging
Admin By Request includes comprehensive auditing and logging features, allowing administrators to track all privileged actions and monitor the usage of elevated privileges. This provides visibility into user actions and ensures compliance with internal and external security requirements.
4. Customization and Sub Settings
Administrators can configure custom sub-settings tailored to their organization’s needs. This includes creating specific workflows, security settings, and custom approval processes that ensure flexibility while maintaining security.
