Abstract
Users can be enabled to perform operations that require elevated privileges in a controlled manner. An agent can be executed on a user's computing device with admin privileges. When the user desires to perform an operation that user's privileges do not allow, the user can submit a request to an administrator. If the administrator approves the request, the agent can be notified that an operation needs to be performed. The agent can then obtain the necessary information for performing the operation and either perform the requested operation directly or perform one or more other operations to enable the user to perform the requested operation. In cases where the agent's actions grant elevated privileges to the user, the agent can be further configured to revoke the elevated privileges at a subsequent time to thereby prevent the user from retaining elevated privileges indefinitely.
