What is the primary function of On-Demand Privileges Manager (OPM)?

The primary function of On-Demand Privileges Manager (OPM) is to allow authorized users to execute privileged commands transparently. This capability is crucial in environments where users require access to elevated permissions for specific operations but where ensuring security and compliance is paramount.

OPM empowers users by providing them with the necessary tools to carry out their tasks without encountering frequent roadblocks due to access restrictions. It enables the secure delegation of privileges, allowing users to perform actions that would typically require administrative rights while maintaining a strict audit trail. This functionality helps reduce the risk of privilege misuse and enhances operational efficiency, as users can perform necessary actions without constantly seeking additional approvals or assistance.

By focusing on managing access dynamically and securely, OPM strikes a balance between operational efficiency and adherence to security protocols, thereby maintaining a robust security posture within an organization.
