System and methods support a console for use in a data center, where the console allows granting of one-time permissions for administrators to perform management tasks in the data canter. A denial is detected of a request by a lower-level administrator to perform a management task, where the request is denied on the basis of the lower-level administrator having insufficient privileges to perform the management task. In response to the denial based on insufficient privileges, a higher-level administrator is identified with sufficient privileges to authorize a one-time permission for the management task. A request is issued for a one-time permission from the upper-level administrator for the lower-level administrator to perform the management task. When approval is received from the upper-level administrator, a one-time permission is configured that authorizes the lower-level administrator to perform the management task. Upon detecting a completion of the management task, the one-time permission is revoked.
