Control Access

Quest’s authorization capabilities address some of the most challenging identity and access management problems. Solutions from Quest enable you to:

Delegate administrative access (including the Unix root credential) for granular control over who can do what on which systems.
Control shared administrative logons in those instances when full access must be granted.
Protect your most valuable resources from unauthorized access while ensuring that your mobile and remote users can still get to everything they need to do their jobs—nothing more, nothing less.
Ensure access control within the security parameters you’ve established and in accordance with the regulations you are obliged to follow.
