K-Elevate
No more permanent administrator rights
K-Elevate removes administrator rights from everyday use and grants them when they are useful: for a specific application or for a short session, with a reason and a trace.
The problem
A user who is an administrator of their own computer hands any malicious program the keys to the machine. Removing these rights without blocking work is one of the most effective steps.
What the module does
Request with a reason
The user requests elevation from the agent, stating a reason.
By application or by session
Only the approved program runs as administrator, or a time-limited session.
Automatic rules
Trusted signed publishers can be approved automatically.
Local administrator under control
A unique password per computer, renewed after use and stored encrypted.
How it works
Request
The user clicks “Run as administrator” and gives a reason.
Approval
Automatic rule or validation from the console.
Revocation
The rights disappear automatically at the end.
What you should know
- The module is planned for phase 4; rotation of the local administrator password is in development.
- macOS support will follow Windows.
