# External PAM integrations

External PAM integrations let Devolutions Server and Remote Desktop Manager work with third party privileged access management platforms instead of storing all privileged credentials locally. Remote Desktop Manager requests credentials from the external PAM just in time and injects them into sessions, while Devolutions Server centralizes session brokering, approvals, and auditing of who used which account. (docs.devolutions.net)

This approach allows organizations that already rely on tools such as CyberArk or other PAM solutions to keep their existing credential lifecycle, while adopting Devolutions Server and Devolutions PAM as a unified access, logging, and policy enforcement layer.
