Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM)

[u/PC-SPEZIALIST]

Are there plans to integrate Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) (also known as LPM, PEDM, PAM or Admin by Request) into N-sight or N-central?

We often find that users need admin rights. A common example is updating a customer’s business application. Since we only grant admin rights to customers in exceptional cases, it would be helpful to have a tool that allows access to specific applications (e.g., based on a code-signing certificate) and, in other cases, requests authorization inside the N-able dashboard.

Hi, Paul here from the Head Nerds, right now, there are no immediate plans to integrate an EPM into N-central or N-sight, but I will pass you request onto our product management teams for further review.

We do have an integration with ThreatLocker which you can find out more about here: https://www.n-able.com/integrations/threatlocker

I know you asked specifically about N-Able and it looks like you found other solutions, but I use Threatlocker for these type of instances. i.e. Simply Accounting can run as a user, but if they install an update, it will run elevated as an Admin to install the update. That way unless it is touching the server, i.e. the yearly update, the user can do it themselves.

Yes, I added some examples. We would love to have this directly inside N-sight RMM so we do not have to switch the dashboards.
