Privilege Manager (formerly ScriptLogic Privilege Authority)

Effective and Affordable Windows Privilege Management

Quest Workspace Privilege Manager -- the industry’s lowest-cost Windows privilege user management solution -- provides the core features you need to quickly elevate and manage user and administrative rights. It includes both pre-packaged and community elevation rules for you to address the most common needs. Applying the elevation rules is more effective with the integration of Quest’s powerful Validation Logic targeting technology. Privilege Manager works seamlessly with Active Directory and Group Policy Objects. You won’t find an easier or more affordable way to maintain security while allowing users more capabilities in a locked-down PC environment.
