Access Management - Concept
JIT
(Just-in-time)
Giving access only when it is needed and removing it again afterwards
What's it for?
Reduces standing access by giving extra permission only when it is actually needed and removing it afterwards.
For example…
An engineer receives temporary administrator access for a two-hour task.
An engineer requests temporary production admin access for two hours and the permission disappears automatically afterwards — JIT access
Think of it like…
Borrowing a master key for one job instead of carrying it on your belt every day
