Enforce least privilege policies without disrupting users
Remove local admin rights, enforces least privilege, and keeps users productive.
Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager
Admin rights were a shortcut. Now they’re a liability.
Local admin rights once made IT life easier. Today, they’re a major attack surface — enabling ransomware, configuration drift, and untraceable changes.
Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager replaces risky shortcuts with smart, policy-driven control; allowing you to:
Remove unnecessary admin rights across users and groups
Eliminate privilege creep from legacy builds or shadow IT
Auto-elevate trusted applications and block anything unapproved
Keep users productive while reducing helpdesk tickets
Pass audits with complete visibility and enforcement at scale
A real-world example:
From shortcut to secure control
Step 1
The shortcut that opened the door
- Your IT team grants local admin rights so users can install software and updates.
- It seems convenient — until those rights become a hidden risk.
- Every endpoint is now exposed to malware, shadow IT, and configuration drift.
Step 2
When convenience turns into crisis
- It only takes one click on a malicious installer.
- With admin rights in place, the attack bypasses your defenses — leading to data loss, downtime, and damaged trust.
- What started as a shortcut becomes a breach waiting to happen.
Step 3
The smarter way to empower users
Because the user doesn’t have admin rights, the installation fails instantly. No breach. No panic. No cleanup.
Step 4
Enforce least privilege across every endpoint
- With Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager, local admin rights are removed — for good.
- Just-in-time elevation grants privileges only for trusted applications or approved tasks.
- Users stay productive while security teams maintain full control and visibility.
Step 5
The outcome: control without compromise
- Least privilege management is now enforced at scale.
- Users stay happy, security stays tight, and auditors stay satisfied.
"...It has been a cornerstone in our security policies. We removed all local admin permissions and still allow programs that require elevation to run seamlessly.”
