Introduction
Endpoint Privilege Management helps organizations reduce the risks that come from permanent local administrator rights. Instead of making users local admins, organizations can allow approved applications, installers, or scripts to run with elevated privileges only when needed.
In this module, you learn how Endpoint Privilege Management supports just-in-time elevation, how elevation policies control privileged actions, and how monitoring data helps administrators review user behavior and adjust policies over time.
