Abstract: Accessing a security enabled application may require certain access privileges that are not readily available or associated with the application at the time a user is seeking access via a login operation. In operation, an access attempt to a security enabled application may include identifying user credentials associated with the access attempt, generating a query based on the user credentials to identify whether the user credentials are associated with a predetermined group membership. A response to the query may be received that includes group information corresponding to the user and the group information may be compared to a set of predetermined rules to determine whether the group information includes privilege rules used to grant access to the access attempt.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for elevating a user account by granting administrator permissions to workstations of network users. One embodiment of such a method comprises receiving authorization to provide a user temporary membership to an administrators group for a defined period of time; sending instructions to a workstation of the user to register as a member to the administrators group of the workstation; and in response to the membership having expired, sending instructions to remove the user as a member of the administrators group on the workstation.
