Before vs After EPM: What Changes When You Deploy Admin By Request?

Oct 16, 20254 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.
