Before vs After EPM: What Changes When You Deploy Admin By Request?
Oct 16, 2025 • 4 min read
Endpoint Management becomes a challenge when users have unrestricted admin rights, opening the door to accidental changes, unauthorized installs, or even malware. Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) leave these risks unchecked to avoid slowing down work or adding complexity.
But that’s exactly where Admin By Request (ABR) makes a difference.
Before ABR
- Users have full local admin rights
- High risk of malware and misconfigurations
- No visibility or logs of elevated activity
- IT has little control, especially in remote setups
After ABR
- Admin access is requested, approved, and time-limited
- All activity is logged for compliance and visibility
- Built-in malware scans protect devices during installs
- No extra hardware or VPN needed, works anywhere
ABR empowers SMBs to adopt a least privilege model without disrupting productivity. As a lightweight, cloud-based solution, it’s quick to deploy, simple to manage, and ideal for small IT teams.
With Admin By Request, you move from risky access to controlled, secure workflows; a smart step forward in Endpoint Management.
