A privileged session is an interactive session where a user accesses a system, application, or network using elevated permissions, such as those of an administrator or superuser. These sessions are often associated with sensitive data and critical infrastructure, making their secure management essential to reducing the risk of misuse, breaches, or operational disruption.
In Devolutions solutions, such as Devolutions PAM and Devolutions Server, privileged sessions can be securely initiated, monitored, and recorded. Devolutions PAM allows administrators to control who initiates these sessions, how credentials are injected, and when access is permitted, ensuring full accountability and compliance. Privileged session monitoring captures session activity in real time or via recordings, helping organizations detect suspicious behavior, maintain security standards, and meet audit requirements.
Privileged sessions can be interactive, automated, or launched through tools like Remote Desktop Manager using credential injection, templates, or scripts. This helps streamline administrative tasks while protecting privileged credentials from exposure.
