Privilege Authority

I love free and I like ScriptLogics stuff – however most of their stuff is not free so I tend not to visit too often.

Today though I’ve taken some time to see what their latest products are and guess what, they’ve released it as free. The latest (?) tool in their armoury is “Privilege Authority” which is sub-headed as ‘Users Need Rights Too‘ and I agree.

Privilege Authority is designed let the Windows network admin establish what aspects of Windows “users can manage without making them local admins. By defining elevation rules within Privilege Authority, user privileges are automatically elevated for specific actions that currently require administrator access”.

Sounds good to me and I can think of at least two uses for it already.

    Unfortunately, Privilege Authority is not free. You can download it for free, but you get a trial version.

      Hey Bob – thanks for the heads up.

      It certainly was free when I tried it for myself – no hidden trail only period or similar. But then this isn't teh first time a company has done this and likely won't be the last.
