Privileged task automation refers to securely running automated tasks—like scripts, macros, or processes—without exposing sensitive credentials. It supports the broader goal of protecting privileged accounts by minimizing manual input and reducing the risk of credential leaks during automation.
In Devolutions products, this is achieved by combining credential injection, secure scripting, and automated events. Remote Desktop Manager can execute scripts or macros before or after establishing a session, without revealing the credentials to users . Entries can reference credentials stored in a vault, allowing secure reuse across automation scenarios .
This approach enables system administrators to schedule or trigger remote tasks safely—such as software updates or server restarts—while ensuring full control, traceability, and compliance with access policies. For added security, credentials can be retrieved dynamically from an external PAM solution or a third-party password manager .
