Versions
Privilege Manager is available in the following editions:- Privilege Manager Community: This edition is free and does not require a license. You can collaborate, brainstorm new elevation rules, share rules with other users, and provide bug reports and enhancement requests to Quest Software.
- Privilege Manager Professional: This edition requires a paid license and includes additional security, discovery, and reporting capabilities, as well as technical support from Quest Software.
- Privilege Manager Professional Evaluation: This edition is the free 30-day trial period for Privilege Manager Professional. If you do not buy a license after 30 days, the software will revert to the lesser featured Community edition. You won't have the Professional features, but you can keep the Community edition just for trying Privilege Manager.
Note: When reverting back to the Community edition, you will need to re-save all computer-based Group Policy object (GPO) rules as user-based. Computer-based rules will no longer work on the client-side once the trial expires.Components
There are three software components included with Privilege Manager: the console, server and client.- Console
The Privilege Manager console, installed via PAConsole_Pro.msi, is a management application. It is installed on a domain computer (server/workstation) and is used to create and manage rules within the Group Policy. Any user who has permission to edit a GPO can use the console to set privileges.
- Server
The Privilege Manager server, installed via the console, is a service which has several functions. It can deploy the client, collect and report on data, and discover and process applications that require elevated privileges.
- Client
The Privilege Manager client, installed via PAClient.msi, is a service that runs on each client computer. It applies the rules created in the console by monitoring processes as they are launched on the client and elevates or lowers the privileges for processes that are configured to be monitored. This is done by injecting an administrative token into the process or revoking it.
Microsoft Active Directory and Group Policy are used to distribute Privilege Manager rules to client computers. Privilege Manager can modify privileges only for a standard user account, not a guest account. Elevated privileges can be revoked even if the user is a local admin.
Installing the consoleThe console must be installed on a computer that is joined to the domain and run under a user account that has the rights to change at least one GPO. The console displays GPOs based on the security context of the user that is logged on.
