Endpoint Management | KACE by Quest
Quest® KACE® Privilege Manager Straightforward and effective Windows privilege management KACETM As your software environment grows and becomes more complex, the careful balancing act of privilege management becomes that much more complicated. Different types of users need different levels of administration rights, while more and more software applications put added stress on your security policies and your help desk. Traditional privilege management platforms can be just as complex as the problem they are built to solve. Quest® KACE® Privilege Manager is different. KACE Privilege Manager helps end users quickly elevate and manage their own user and administrative rights, yet maintain a least-privileged, GDPRcompliant environment. It includes both prepackaged 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 patented and powerful Validation Logic targeting technology. Privilege Manager works seamlessly with Active Directory and Group Policy Objects (GPOs). You won't find an easier or more affordable way to maintain security while allowing users more self-service capabilities in a locked-down PC environment.

Validation Logic -- Use our Validation Logic technology to target access rights to any combination of users, user groups, platforms or applications.
