Using Temporary Session Elevation
If your system administrator has provided you with a TSE (Temporary Session Elevation) passcode for your computer, you can temporarily use the Elevate! button to automatically launch programs that require elevated privileges.
-
From the System Tray, right-click the Privilege Manager Server and select Temporary session elevation.
The TSE Client Request dialog box appears.
- If your Administrator already supplied you with a passcode, Load passcode from file can be selected. If you do not have a passcode click If you don’t have a passcode you can request one... The request for Elevation passcode dialog box appears.
- Complete the request form and click Submit.
- Whenthe passcode is entered, a notification appears, showing how much time before the Elevation expires. A notification is displayed when the passcode expires. If the passcode is alread used the maximum number of times you receive an alert.
Once a passcode is active, you can use the right-click Elevate! button if the file name extension, the suffix after the dot in the file name, for your application you need to install is .bat, .cmd, .exe, .js, .lnk, .msc, .msi, msp, .pl, .psl or .vbs.
To automatically launch a program while a passcode is active:
- On your list of files in Windows Explorer, right-click the application that you cannot start because you do not have sufficient privileges.
- Click Elevate! in the pop-up menu that appears.
If the Elevate! button does not appear when you try to launch a program:
- Ensure that the Temporary Session Elevation feature is enabled.
- Ensure that the file name extension for the application is one of the following: .bat, .cmd, .exe, .js, .lnk, .msc, .msi, msp, .pl, .psl or .vbs.
- Contact your system administrator to confirm that your account has permission to elevate privileges on your computer.
