What is Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows?

Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows is a software that lets you update your own computer without calling your system administrator. Some applications require full administrative privileges to run or to be installed. In most cases, you do not have administrative privileges that allow you to update everything. However, you can use Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows to request elevated privileges for specific applications, using features of the program called Self-Service and Instant Elevation. For more information, see Using Self-Service Elevation and Using Instant Elevation.

Displaying the Client icon

If you see the icon below in the notification area of the task bar at the bottom of your computer screen, your system administrator has installed the Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows Client software on your computer:

Using Self-Service Elevation

If your system administrator has set up Self-Service Elevation features for your computer, you will be able to use a Self-Service Elevation Request prompt or form to request permission to launch applications.

A Self-Service Elevation Request prompt or form may display when you try to launch an application without entering the administrator User Name and Password when prompted.
