Free Privilege Elevation Software - Privilege Authority 

Mar 30, 2010 11:31 AM

First I'm in no way associated with ScriptLogic.   I just came across this piece of software and figured I would pass some info on it to the community as it seems to solve a issue we have all run across.   Having to give users a higher level of rights than we would like to.    For example having to give a user admin rights on there Desktop just to allow one piece of software to work correctly.

We are in the process of testing it and it seems to be working well.  

The text below is from http://www.scriptlogic.com/products/privilegeauthority/   You can download the product there for free.


"Elevate applications, Windows features and Active X controls"
Application updaters make it easy to make sure your users are always running the most current version of a product, but they’re often designed to require administrative rights. So an updater, even for a common, free application, can require you to run all of your users with administrative rights. With Privilege Authority, you can lock down the user, and elevate just that application updater. Some windows features, even those as simple as changing the time or time zone, can require administrative rights. Easily elevate those features you need and keep the rest locked down. When surfing the Internet, some Active X controls are essential and others are harmful. With Privilege Authority you can block general Active X controls and only allow the ones you approve in advance.Elevate applications, Windows features and Active X controls"

"Flexible, rules based elevation
Privilege Authority uses elevation rules to determine what applications, features or controls are elevated to higher privileges. These rules can include the common rules included with Privilege Authority, customized versions of the common rules, or completely custom, user-defined rules. Rules can be copied, shared and moved easily between test and production networks."
