Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileged Access is a cybersecurity practice that involves granting elevated and granular privileged access to an application or system on an as-needed basis. Instead of providing continuous, "always-on" access, JIT access is granted only for a specific period and purpose, typically following a formal request and approval process. This approach reduces the exposure time and risk associated with permanent access rights and aligns with the principles of zero trust and zero trust standing privileges. JIT access is often implemented as part of Identity Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) strategies, ensuring that privileged access is strictly controlled and limited to authorized individuals only when necessary.
Users must justify their need for privileged access, and once approved, they can connect to specific resources for a limited time. Credentials are managed centrally and rotated to reduce privilege abuse risks.
Users can request temporary elevation of privileges for specific tasks. Approval is either automated or granted manually by administrators, specifying the duration. This approach minimizes the time spent on critical systems and automatically revokes access when the task is finished.
JIT access offers granular control over the level of privileges granted. It ensures that users have the minimum necessary privileges required to perform their tasks, following the principle of least privilege (POLP).
JIT Access grants time-limited access to privileged resources, ensuring that users have temporary permissions for specific tasks or activities. Once the designated time period ends, access rights are automatically revoked, bolstering security measures.
Users can request elevated access as required, submitting requests for temporary privileged permissions. These requests are carefully evaluated and, if approved, users are granted temporary access to perform their designated tasks efficiently.
JIT Access solutions offer comprehensive auditing & monitoring capabilities, logging all access requests, approvals, & activities during privileged sessions. These detailed logs serve as an audit trail, supporting security measures & compliance requirements.
JIT Access incorporates a seamless approval workflow, enabling designated approvers or administrators to review access requests. Through this process, requests are verified, assessed for potential risks, and either approved or escalated for further review.
JIT Access automatically revokes temporary privileges and terminates sessions after the authorized time elapses or the user completes their tasks, minimizing security threats.
By limiting access privileges and implementing a controlled and temporary access model, JIT access strengthens security and mitigates the risks associated with continuous access.
Simplifies the management of privileged accounts by eliminating standing privileges. Automated tasks like credential rotation and account deletion are streamlined. With automated request approvals, the system can review and grant privileged access without manual intervention from administrators.
Streamlining access workflows and automating request approvals saves time and effort for both administrators and users. It reduces delays, eliminates manual intervention, and improves overall operational efficiency in managing privileged accounts.
By minimizing the time window for privileged access, JIT access reduces the attack surface and potential exposure to security threats. It helps prevent unauthorized access and limits the impact of any potential breaches.

The least privilege principle refers to granting users the minimum level of access required to perform their job functions, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or misuse. Just-in-Time (JIT) access is a method that provides temporary and time-limited access to privileged accounts only when needed, further enhancing security by minimizing exposure.
Examples of privileged access include administrative accounts with elevated privileges, such as system administrators, database administrators, network administrators, or accounts with access to sensitive data or critical infrastructure.
