When you create a credential for a managed computer (a computer that EmpowerID inventories), you can link that credential to one or more computers. Once a computer credential is linked to a computer, users can request access to it using those credentials. All access occurs through RDP or SSH sessions via EmpowerID's Privileged Session Manager.
When a request for a computer credential is approved, users check out the credentials to initiate RDP (Windows) or SSH (Linux) sessions. Once their tasks on the computer are complete, they check in the credentials to end the session.
