# Elevated Access on Endpoints

## **Overview**

Keeper Privilege Manager extends JIT capabilities to endpoints, allowing administrators to grant precise privilege elevation for specific processes, applications, or tasks — without giving users full administrative access. Users operate with standard, non-privileged accounts by default and request elevation only when needed.

**Key Features**

* Process-level privilege management across Windows, macOS, and Linux
* Policy-based elevation rules with granular controls
* User-initiated elevation requests with approval workflows
* Comprehensive auditing and reporting

**How It Works**

1. Users operate with standard, non-privileged accounts by default.
2. When administrative privileges are needed, users request elevation for a specific task.
3. Based on policy, requests are auto-approved or routed for manual approval.
4. Elevated privileges are granted only for the specified process or time window.
5. All elevation activity is captured in a full audit trail.
