In EmpowerID, IAM Shop Permission Levels represent define permissions for specific resources within native systems, including such as shared folders, mailboxes, and computers. Organizations have the flexibility to configure these levels to suit their unique requirementsThese levels can be configured to align with organizational requirements, ensuring that access to resources is controlled according to user roles and responsibilities. For example, a shared folder may be assigned have a "readRead-onlyOnly" permission level for general users, while a computer might have a "local adminLocal Admin" access level designated for IT staff. These levels ensure that access to resources is both controlled and appropriately aligned with user roles and tasks.
Application in Computer Administration
In the domain of Within computer administration, IAM Shop Permission Levels are essential, especially important for facilitating Privileged Session Management (PSM). These permission levels enable administrators to define and control access rights efficiently during PSM sessions, allowing users to request necessary specific permissions directly from the IAM Shop.

Role of IAM Shop Permission Levels in PSM
IAM Shop Permission Levels are crucial for assist in managing access during PSM sessions . They serve a dual purposeby:
Granting Specific Permissions:
...
Users can be given administrator-level access to perform
...
designated tasks during a computer session.
Enforcing Security Principles:
...
Permissions are revoked immediately after the session concludes,
...
adhering to the principle of least privilege and reducing security risks by preventing prolonged unauthorized access.
To implement these levels, organizations select specific groups within the native system with that have the required permissions and map the IAM Shop Permission Levels to those groups. Users who are members of these groups receive the specified access during their sessions. For exampleinstance, if a group has read and write permissions on a database, a member initiating a PSM session will automatically receive these permissions.

Integration of Just-In-Time (JIT) Access
EmpowerID supports Just-In-Time (JIT) account provisioning on computers for specific groups. This feature generates a user account at the onset start of a PSM session, assigns it to the appropriate group, and removes it at when the session 's endends. This The account, uniquely identified (e.g., jposada_566054625600), may be retained for future use or deleted based on JIT access settings. This strategy enhances a zero-trust, least-privilege security model by ensuring method ensures that access is granted only as needed and withdrawn immediately afterward.
...
Eligibility in Access Provisioning
EmpowerID ensures that only eligible users eligible for can access specific Permission Levels can access them, adhering to following defined access controls. For instanceexample, a database administrator might be eligible for highhigher-level permissions appropriate to their role, while a customer service representative would not. Depending on organizational policies, users not eligible for certain Permission Levels can still initiate sessions but only as non-privileged users, which enhances the system’s security.
Conclusion
Implementing and managing IAM Shop Permission Levels in EmpowerID are pivotal for the secure and efficient operation of IT systems. These levels provide a structured and customizable approach to access control, allowing precise tailoring of permissions to specific roles and tasks. Integrating Just-In-Time access within these levels further strengthens this framework, ensuring permissions are granted on a need-to-use basis and revoked promptly, upholding the principles of least privilege and zero trust.
Understanding and effectively utilizing IAM Shop Permission Levels, coupled with JIT access, is fundamental for administrators aiming to optimize security and functionality within their IT infrastructure. By mastering these concepts, administrators can create a more secure, compliant, and streamlined IT environment where access to resources is meticulously managed and potential security risks are significantly minimized.
