Take Control Without Losing Control: What Elevation Control Really Means
Techs hate waiting on approval chains. End users hate being blocked from doing simple tasks. And MSPs? They’re caught in the middle, trying to manage admin access without compromising security- or productivity.
That’s where Elevation Control comes in. It’s a smarter, safer way to manage administrative privileges across your organization- and it’s one of the key features of our Summit Cybersecurity Bundle.
What Is Elevation Control?
Elevation Control allows users to run specific applications or tasks with administrative privileges- even when they don’t have full local admin rights. Think of it like giving someone access to just one locked drawer instead of handing over the keys to the whole office.
Instead of granting admin rights that are always on (and always risky), Elevation Control gives IT teams the ability to approve or restrict elevated access based on policy, user, or app- without constantly stepping in.
Why It’s Important
Local administrator accounts are prime targets for cybercriminals. If an attacker compromises a device with admin rights, they can impersonate other users, run malicious software, or gain deeper access into your network.
By eliminating permanent local admin rights and replacing them with controlled, just-in-time access, Elevation Control reduces your exposure- without disrupting your workflow.
Benefits of Elevation Control
Adding Elevation Control through the Summit Cybersecurity Bundle helps your organization:
Reduce Risk – No standing admin rights means fewer chances for attackers to gain control.
Stay Productive – Approved tasks and updates don’t grind to a halt while waiting on IT.
Cut Down on Support Tickets – Fewer “I need admin access” requests for your help desk.
Stay in Control – IT admins can approve or deny requests based on rules, not guesswork.
Smart Security, Seamless Productivity
Elevation Control hits the sweet spot between locking systems down and letting users do what they need. It keeps your endpoints secure, your people productive, and your IT team sane.
It’s one of the many powerful tools built into the Summit Cybersecurity Bundle, designed to give your business enterprise-level protection-without enterprise-level hassle.
