An example method of dynamic privilege management in a computer system includes: detecting launch of an application by a user in a login session of a desktop executing on the computer system; determining identification information for the application; evaluating at least one policy that specifies requirements for privilege elevation using the identification information as parametric input; generating a privilege elevation result for the application, the privilege evaluation result including a positive or negative indication of whether the at least one policy permits privilege elevation of a process created for the application within the login session; and elevating privilege of the process in response to the positive indication in the privilege elevation.
