# Privilege Access Management (PAM) # Privilege Access Management (PAM)
## **Enhance Security with digiBandit IT Services’ Endpoint Privilege Management Solution** ## Secure, Simple Admin Access When You Need It
### **Tired of constantly worrying about the security of your endpoints?** digiBandit manages admin access on your devices so you stay protected without getting in the way of your work.
Do you want to improve your organization’s overall security posture? Look no further than digiBandit IT Services’ Endpoint Privilege Management solution powered by **AutoElevate**! ### How It Works
### **Why Endpoint Privilege Management Matters** Your computer runs as a standard user by default. This protects you from malware, accidental system changes, and unauthorized software. When you need admin access (to install something, change a system setting, etc.), you can request it right from your taskbar.
Our solution allows you to control and monitor the privileges of all users and endpoints across your organization, reducing the risk of breaches and unauthorized access. By managing user access, you can prevent the spread of malware and limit the potential for attacks from insider threats. With real-time monitoring and alerts, you can respond quickly to any suspicious activity and ensure your endpoints’ security. ### Requesting Admin Access
**AutoElevate** is the leader in Endpoint Privilege Management, and digiBandit IT Services is proud to offer this powerful solution to our clients. Say goodbye to endpoint security worries and hello to peace of mind with Endpoint Privilege Management from digiBandit IT Services. 1. **Right-click the digiBandit icon** in your system tray (bottom-right of your screen)
2. Click **Request Admin Access**
3. Wait a few seconds. You will see a notification: "Admin access granted for 15 minutes"
4. Do what you need to do (install software, change settings, etc.)
5. Admin access **automatically expires** after the timer runs out. You do not need to do anything.
### **How It Works: AutoElevate User Guide** That is it. No separate app, no portal, no passwords to enter.
When using **AutoElevate** as part of our Endpoint Privilege Management, you’ll experience a seamless process for managing administrative privileges. Here’s how: ### What Happens During Admin Access
#### **What to Expect from AutoElevate** - When you run an installer or make a system change, Windows will ask "Do you want to allow this app to make changes?" Just click **Yes**.
- A countdown shows in your tray icon so you know how much time you have left.
- You can click **Revoke Now** in the tray menu if you are done early.
When an application or action requires elevated permissions (admin access), **AutoElevate** will notify the user with a request for elevation. This ensures users only perform actions they’re authorized to do while protecting your organization’s endpoints from potential threats. ### Security
#### **Submitting an Elevation Request** - Every elevation request is logged and monitored by our security systems.
- Admin access is time-limited and automatically revoked.
- If something unusual is detected, our team is alerted immediately.
- Your device returns to standard user mode automatically. No action needed on your part.
- ### FAQ
**AutoElevate Prompt**: When an action needs admin privileges, an **AutoElevate** pop-up will appear, informing the user.
- **Q: What if my admin access expires before I am done?**
**Submit for Approval**: Simply click **Submit** to send the request for admin approval. A: Just request it again from the tray icon.
- **Q: Do I need to restart my computer?**
**Approval Process**: Your IT team will review and approve legitimate requests to ensure security, preventing unauthorized access. A: No. Admin access takes effect immediately for new actions.
#### **Efficient, Secure, and Managed** **Q: What if the icon is not in my tray?**
A: Contact digiBandit support. The companion app may need to be updated.
- **Automated Approvals**: Some common requests may be pre-approved for instant action, minimizing downtime.
- **Manual Approvals**: Sensitive actions are manually approved by IT, ensuring an additional layer of protection.
### **Your Benefits with digiBandit IT Services’ AutoElevate-Powered Solution**
