ADCE: Temporary Elevated Privileges

There are cases where the business situations override technology standards forcing IT administrators to support legacy applications and to grant users elevated privileges on their workstations. In other cases, business user may require temporary elevated privileges to configure the operating system, for instance, to install printer drivers or to install some software.

The software allows authorized users to have elevated privileges for specific time period, 60 minutes being the default value.  Administrators fulfill such service requests by adding users in specific Active Directory security group.  When the pre-configured time elapses, users access is revoked without forcing them to logoff and login again. The software allows the administrators to exclude privileged computers such as those in an Industrial Plant, in a Laboratory or a Kiosk station preventing users from having elevated rights on them.
