Summary
Endpoint Privilege Management helps organizations manage elevated privileges without relying on permanent local administrator rights. In this module, you learned how just-in-time elevation works, how EPM policies define elevation behavior, and how administrators can control which files, scripts, or installers are allowed to run with elevated privileges.
You also reviewed how EPM reports help identify managed and unmanaged elevation activity, user behavior patterns, denied requests, and policy gaps. Finally, you learned how to troubleshoot EPM settings and adjust policies while keeping privilege use aligned with least-privilege principles.
Key points:
- EPM allows approved elevation without making users permanent local admins.
- Elevation settings policies define baseline EPM behavior.
- Elevation rules policies define how specific files and scripts are handled.
- Monitoring helps identify unmanaged elevations and repeated user requests.
- Troubleshooting should focus on policy assignment, rule matching, reporting, and known EPM limitations.
