What is Just-in time Access (JIT)?


PAM Buyers Guide


What is Just in Time Access?


Just in Time Access provides users with temporary, elevated access to resources and systems for a limited period. Once the task is over these elevated access rights are automatically revoked.

This approach restricts access to special resources and privileges only when necessary, enhancing security. Unlike continuous "always-on" access, just-in-time access offers specific, granular privileges over some time only. It usually involves asking for and getting approval before getting this temporary access.

JIT Access reduces the exposure time and risk associated with permanent access rights and aligns with the principles of zero trust standing privileges. This is often implemented as part of Identity Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) strategies, ensuring that privileged access is strictly controlled and limited to authorized individuals only when necessary.
