What is Admin By Request?

Admin By Request is a powerful Privileged Access Management (PAM) security solution designed to empower organizations in effectively managing, monitoring, and controlling local admin rights across their endpoints. With its comprehensive features, organizations can confidently maintain a secure environment.

This solution provides Just-In-Time per-app and session elevation, ensuring administrative access is granted only when needed. It also offers robust logging capabilities for privileged activity, allowing organizations to track and analyze user actions, and real-time anti-malware file scanning, to protect against potential threats. For use in emergencies or to provision third parties with temporary local admin accounts, Admin By Request includes a Break Glass account feature, which acts as a replacement for Microsoft LAPS. Seamless integration with SIEM tools and ticketing systems allows for the streamlining of workflows and enhancement of incident response. Organizations can gain insight into their endpoints via a comprehensive software and hardware inventory. With an intuitive web Admin Portal, accessing all features is straightforward.

From the end user perspective, Admin By Request enables users to self-initiate administrative access. This user-friendly approach maintains security without hindering productivity, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

Benefits of using Admin By Request

• With app elevation, you can elevate applications without elevating the user.

• The Break Glass/LAPS-replacement feature allows for the provisioning of temporary local admin accounts.

• Integration with OPSWAT's MetaDefender Cloud API means you can scan files with over 35 anti-malware engines.

• Enforce business rules with endpoint MFA/SSO prior to privilege elevation.

• Allow our Artificial Intelligence engine to auto-approve requests for elevation.

• With our Machine Learning feature, you can allow auto-approvals after a set number of manual approvals.

• Ensure all sensitive data is protection - Admin By request is GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and adheres to a number of other global compliance standards.

• Cover all endpoints with versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

• Integrate with ServiceNow, Teams, Slack, SIEM tools, and ticketing systems.

• Access all core Admin Portal features from your mobile device with the Admin By Request mobile app.
