Having too many powerful user profiles leaves the security of your IBM i system and data exposed. In fact, security and compliance auditors prefer that IBM i users be given only the authorities required to perform their jobs, and that they be granted additional authority only when needed and only for the time required.

​

Assure Elevated Authority Manager gives you complete control of IBM i user authorities to help your company meet the most stringent regulatory requirements mandated by SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and more.

Easy, Complete Control of Elevated IBM i User Authorities

Assure Elevated Authority Manager, a feature of Assure Security, and part of its Assure Access Control feature bundle, enables you to reduce the number of powerful IBM i user profiles in your environment by allowing you to easily elevate the authority of user profiles on an as-needed basis. Elevated authority can be granted by an administrator upon request or automatically based on preconfigured rules, and it can be limited to a specific command, day, time, IP address or other parameters.
