Just-In-Time Workflow

Workflow gives organizations enterprise-grade control over privileged access — enforcing approvals, time-bound limits, and automatic credential rotation to achieve zero standing privilege.

Overview

KeeperPAM Workflow enforces just-in-time access for privileged resources. It reduces standing privilege and supports zero standing privilege across target infrastructure.

Workflow controls approvals, access windows, and check-in and check-out for protected resources in the Keeper Vault. It is available for any privileged resource protected in the Keeper Vault.

Key Features

  • Multi-Level Approvals — Require sign-off from multiple approvers or delegate approval authority as needed.

  • Single-User Mode (Check-in / Check-out) — Restricts access to one user at a time. Users check out the resource before use and check it back in when finished. Access is automatically revoked when the time limit expires.

  • MFA Requirement — Requires users to complete multi-factor authentication before access is granted.

  • Access Time Limits — Grants access for a defined duration and automatically revokes it when the time window expires.

  • Real-Time Notifications — Notifies approvers instantly across all Keeper clients, including desktop, web, and mobile.
