These release notes provide information about the Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows release. For the most recent documents and product information, see Online product documentation.
Giving users administrator rights creates security risks but must be weighed against constant help desk calls for basic operations like updating Adobe Reader, Java, or simply changing the time zone on desktops.
Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows lets you grant selected privileges to users so they can update their own computers, reducing help desk calls while maintaining a secure network. By automating user privilege settings, Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows keeps users working. This allows you to focus on higher priority tasks, for exceptional resource and time savings.
As a system administrator, you can use Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows to elevate and manage user rights quickly and precisely with validation logic targeting technology. This provides administrators the ability to create rules that allow administrator-level access to specific applications for specifics users. You can also enable your end users to request elevated privileges for specific applications through Self-Service and Instant Elevation.
NOTE: Customers upgrading from previous versions of Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows (such as 3.x and earlier) are required to obtain a new license file. For additional information, see Product licensing.
NOTE: The security status of the installation file can become "blocked" after download, inhibiting the ability of the product to be properly installed. For information on detecting and resolving this issue, see KB4268094.
