What is Admin By Request? #
Admin By Request is a security solution for the control and management of local administrative rights on desktops and servers.
Why Should You Use the Admin By Request Connector? #
The Admin By Request connector provides visibility into the users and permissions in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
- ensure all endpoints are managed per your security policies
- create accurate audit records
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Admin By Request REST API and ingests only meta-data about Admin By Request users and assets. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
