What is Emergency Access Manager?

Emergency Access Manager enables you to address the most frequent IT audit issue by assigning temporary access to approved “firefighting” users and then monitor and report on that user’s activity so users are closely monitored and directly accountable for their own actions.

Emergency Access Manager Software Capabilities

Narrowly Assigned “Firefighting” Access

Assigns a role directly to the user in question. This ensures that users are closely monitored and directly accountable for their own actions since there is no uncertainty over who performed which transaction.

Roles Scoped by Functional Area

Roles can be scoped so only certain pre-approved users have access to specific emergency access roles. Roles can be restricted by functional area so that one super user may have pre-approved access to a finance role while another super user has access to an IT role.

Pre-Approved Users

Roles can be scoped so only certain pre-approved users have access to specific emergency access roles in order to further reduce the risk that comes with granting emergency access.

Reduced Risk

Substantially reduces the risk that comes with granting super-user access for “firefighting” activities. Access can be granted at a granular, narrowly-defined level and automatically revoked when appropriate.

Faster Response to Emergencies

IT staff is able to diagnose and address issues with the ERP system faster, reducing downtime and disruptions for business users.

Reduce Audit Preparation Costs

Virtually eliminates preparation for audits of emergency access activity by providing a thorough audit trail of who had access and which transactions they performed.
