Admin By Request is an endpoint privilege management solution that enables organizations to manage, monitor, and control local admin rights across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Built on the principle of least privilege, it provides just-in-time elevation for individual applications or time-limited admin sessions, granting users administrative access only when needed, with full auditing of all privileged activity. Key capabilities include configurable approval workflows, application blocking and pre-approval, real-time malware scanning, temporary local admin accounts for emergency access, secure remote support and unattended access, integration with SIEM and ticketing systems, and complete software and hardware inventory. All features are managed through an intuitive web portal with support for Entra ID, Google Identity, JumpCloud, and Okta.

Admin by Request has been a game changer for our organization's privilege management strategy for our engineering teams. It has saved us countless hours of helpdesk time and reduces friction for our users on a daily basis since implementation. Setup was a breeze compared to other platforms and the free tier really allowed us to validate this solution with our workload before proceeding. The auditing and report management capabilities are robust and give us granular detail over what actions were taken in the environment. This allowed our organization to meet compliance goals much faster than anticipated. I would recommend Admin by Request to anyone looking to streamline privilege management as this software has really checked all the boxes in terms of security, convenience, and auditing capabilities
Pros: Admin by Request was the easiest privilege management software we tested by far to onboard for our team of engineering power users. Setup was intuitive and offered best practice options selected by default but with very granular file and app control options to suit complex elevation scenarios.
Cons: The process to purchase Admin by Request took a bit more time and effort than I would have hoped. The quote to order process was a bit slow. Direct purchase of licenses would have been great but not a deal breaker.

It has allowed me to grant users the ability to have an extra layer of security when performing admin functions on a laptop, without having them log in as local administrators.

Pros: The ability to allow remote users with limited connectivity the ability to install/customize software without direct remote admin support.
Cons: On rare occasions, it doesn't work as expected and I must uninstall it, log in as admin, install software, then reinstall AdminByRequest. VERY rare...1% of the time.
James E. · IT Manager · Construction · March 11, 2026
10/10, I would recommend this to anyone that needs to provide admin rights to users when needed and whitelist apps.
Pros: Easy to use and add new apps into the dashboard. Giving users admin rights has been very easy. Apple watch and mobile app have been great.
Cons: Little hard at first to setup but support was very helpful once going. After that it's very easy to use
Andrew S. · IT Manager · Automotive · January 1, 2026
Pros: Really impressed with how easy the platform is to use and deploy. It’s straightforward for users to get started without needing much technical support. The customer service team has been quick to respond to any issues, and they genuinely listen to feedback to help improve the experience
Cons: There is currently nothing I don't like with Admin by request, as it does what it says on the tin and just works
Kane W. · Cloud Engineer · Construction · October 22, 2025
Quelques problèmes rencontrés avec la version 8.1.6, rapidement corrigés après la mise à jour en 8.5.
Pros: L’outil offre une grande autonomie aux utilisateurs pour élever leurs privilèges. Il permet également de disposer rapidement d’un compte break glass et de supprimer facilement les droits administrateurs locaux.
Cons: Certaines actions exigent toujours la saisie des identifiants et du mot de passe de la session locale. Si la demande de session administrateur n’a pas été faite en amont, l’action échoue et doit être recommencée.
CECILE I. · ADMIN SYSTEME RESEAU · Industrial Automation · October 1, 2025
Toller Support, die App funktioniert und ist "lightweight"; dh sie ist sehr schnell eingerichtet und auf den Endpunkten ausgerollt.
Pros: Guter Support, sehr schnell ausgerollt, funktioniert und erleichtert das Management bei erhöhter Sicherheit - möchte es nicht mehr missen!
Cons: MPS Plattform: Inhaber (Reseller) müsste in der App (wie es im web ja ist) auf alle seine Kunden direkt Zugrif haben.
Toni S. · IT Consultant, IT Engineer · Construction · September 25, 2025
Overall, ABR integrated well, cost was good, and the expectations that we expected were met and exceeded in other areas
Pros: Ease of Use, Works, Customer Support. Everything is very straight forward and well organized. Things work as intended. Customer support is prompt and very knowledgeable
Cons: Could be slightly better on the Mac end, but they are working on it. Currently Mac does not allow teh remote access feature as part of the product, but I know its on their roadmap
Scott M. · IT Manager · Telecommunications · September 25, 2025
After a bit of setup and some time to get to know it, it works great, and the support is fantastic whenever needed.
Pros: That I have more control over what is being installed and by whom. Provides good protection against unwanted software, as my approval as admin is required before a program is allowed to run.
Cons: Some programs are difficult to pre-approve, so you get interrupted with a request for approval. Fortunately, it is easy to approve.
Kasper O. · IKT-BIM manager · Civil Engineering · September 22, 2025
I have had a really great experience with Admin By Request. We use it daily on every single machine, and it just works. I’ve really appreciated the way they have designed and thought through this software—it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making it reliable and easy to use.
Pros: What I have appreciated most about Admin By Request is their fast and responsive service, as well as the user-friendly product that works straight out of the box. We found it very easy to get started, and since we implemented it two years ago, we haven’t experienced any issues. It’s reassuring to know that the system just works, and that support is always quick to assist if any questions arise.
Cons: The only area that could be improved is keeping the guides up to date, but that’s a minor point.... :)
Mads kargo N. · Systemadministrator · Transportation/Trucking/Railroad · September 15, 2025
Overal my experience with ABR has been great and I can highly recommend it. The initial setup worked like a charm.
Pros: My company has used Admin By Request for several years and it works perfectly. Using this tool we can in a simple and easy way control our users admin access to Windows devices. Another great feature is the audit log of device changes. Furthermore, we can group our users - e.g. our developers can run specific programs pre-approved. We also use ABR on our Windows servers which is great for auditing. The license price is very fair. The communication with the ABR team has been very pleasant.
Cons: No real problems. The helpdesk could be a bit faster. Adding extra licenses could be easier and more smooth.
Morten L. · Hosting and Deployment Manager · Information Technology and Services · September 12, 2025
Pros: Admin By Request offered non-profit discounts that helped make the purchase affordable. It was also very easy to set up from the admin side and implement using InTune
Cons: Admin By Request and Teamviewer QuickSupport are sometimes at odds because of UAC prompts popping up that Teamviewer QS can't see when working with a remote user.
David B. · IT Administrator · Government Relations · August 29, 2025
Great and quick support. Super product. Good customer service. Ease of use. Works well with different operations systems.
Pros: Ease of use User Access Control Sercure Remote Access Article writing Value for money Login management
Cons: Not to schedule application updates to users. Slow roll out. Request are getting stucked No log entries.
Robert Eeg S. · Infrastructure Specialist · Construction · August 27, 2025
bis hierhin sehr gut auch was die collaboration angeht. selbst kleinere Probleme egal auf welcher Seite ob Kunde oder Dienstleister werden sehr professionell und schnell angenommen.
Pros: Simpel und gut umzusetzen, vergleichsweise schneller support und kundennähe ist extrem gut. Die Response ist sehr schnell und einfach und alles ist extrem gut konfigurierbar.
Cons: leider wären einige granularere Einstellungen sinnvoll die es by default nicht gibt, aber es ist stets möglich mit dem Hersteller zu sprechen und ggf. neue Features zu bekommen.
Matthias F. · IT Workplace Architect · Retail · August 4, 2025
Seit der Implementierung des Produktes, welches sich sehr einfach gestaltete, konnten wir den Angriffsvektor der lokalen Adminrechte auf Client Betriebssystemen extrem reduzieren.
Pros: Das Produkt ist sehr flexibel einsatzbar und hilft ungemein das Problem privilegierter Accounts auf Rechnern einzuschränken.
Cons: die Funktion Support Assist funktioniert manchmal nicht einwandfrei, so dass hindert vor allem dem First Level Support an ihrer Tätigkeit.
Daniel P. · Deputy Head of IT Enterprise Services · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · August 1, 2025
Die allgemeinen Erfahrungen sowohl im Windows- als auch Mac-Bereich sind sehr gut. Das Produkt ist einfach zu implementieren und bietet viele Vorteile für die Admins, IT Security als auch den Endbenutzer. Das Tool wird ständig weiter entwickelt und verbessert. Guter Support.
Pros: Intuitiv für Admin und Endbenutzer, einfach einzurichten und zu implementieren. Gute Nutzerakzeptanz.
Cons: eigentlich nichts. Teilweise ist es schwierig bestimmte Systemanwendungen über "Run as" zu steuern, aber für weitergehende administrative Tätigkeiten kann man sich über den "Emergency account" behelfen.
Anonymous User · Backoffice Management · Information Technology and Services · August 1, 2025
Pros: Easy of use both for the end user and the administration, with tools to both prevent and investigation for in wanted software.
Cons: There are times where Admin by request does have some limitations and can't finish the job. Have had windows recovery freeze after requesting admin access.
Jimmy K. · IT Operations Technician · Computer Software · August 1, 2025
Super good solution to control admin privileges and which Application can be installed. Even more the solution is able to black and white list Applications. There is auditing in place as well. In case you have a Support Case the vendor is really acting quick an fast and providing you a solution.
Pros: No local Admins on Windows clients and Macs is a big big improvement in the security. Removing the permanent admin rights for IT guys reduced at the same time the attack surface of our clients.
Cons: Personally I have no complains, however it takes you a lot of communication in the company to convince IT administrator, that they have to request admin privileges and not getting them permanently.
Bernd I. · Teamhead IT Endpoint Management · Sporting Goods · July 31, 2025
Schnelle und unkomplizierte Implementierung Benutzerfreundlichkeit Zuverlässiger Support Mehr Sicherheit
Pros: Die Lösung Admin by Request lässt sich schnell und unkompliziert in bestehende IT-Infrastrukturen integrieren und es benötigt keine weiteren lokalen Adminberechtigunen für die User. Es gibt detaillierte Audit-Logs und Berichte.
Cons: Ältere Anwendungen die subprozesse starten, funktionieren nicht immer reibungslos mit Admin by Request.
Anonymous User · Consulting IT Infrastructure · Airlines/Aviation · July 31, 2025
Admin By Request made it possible for us to get rid of local administrators on our office computers and introduced audit log for events.
Pros: Admin by Request is very user friendly and solved a big pain for us in IT. The price structure is fair and we do get a fine value for our money. The onboarding and introduction to the software was great, and if we need help, the support team are ready to answer our questions.
Cons: It is hard to find any cons. The software deliver what it promises and is quickly accepted by most of our users.
Peter S. · Head of Security · Media Production · July 29, 2025
Pros: Easy to use for both users and administrators. We find Admin by Request as a very usefull product...
Cons: Sometimes I would like a little more details about what the user have done in the period he/she has been elevated.
Petter T. B. S. · IT-Administrator · Insurance · July 28, 2025
Overall, Admin By Request is most appreciated for its user-friendly approach to privileged access management, robust security features, and cost-effective, flexible deployment that supports both IT efficiency and end-user productivity. It needs further refinement and added features.
Pros: Intuitive interface and straightforward deployment. Pricing is reasonable. End users and IT teams alike appreciate the non-disruptive nature of the solution.
Cons: Slow response times for privilege elevation requests or automated workflows are a frequent point of criticism due to lack of automation and off line keys do not work bricking the machine.
Wil K. · CISO · Education Management · July 14, 2025
ABR is very easy to deploy and manage. It gave us tight control over what our users can do on their devices. We have the ability now to approve requests for app installs remotely or to give administrator sessions if someone from the IT team is providing support on the device
Pros: It gave us security control of our fleet and allows us to be sure that our images and SOE stays as it should.
Cons: It is not invoked 100% of the time that we require it. There have been instances such as when a user attempts to install an app from the MacOS App Store, where it prompts for a local administrator username and password as normal rather than opening ABR
Dane M. · Head of ICT · Education Management · June 19, 2025
The admin portal is very easy to use and your documentation is very clear.
Pros: The fact that we can use it offline fits perfectly with some of our use cases
Cons: It doesn't detect automatically every UAC pop-up. For example, if I click on an executable that requires admin rigths, it just prompts me with the UAC and I need to click "Run as Admin" specifically for ABR to be triggered.
Antoine R. · IT Analyst · Education Management · February 11, 2025
It simply works. Users like it. Support team members like it.
Pros: Admin By Request has allowed us to seamlessly implement Privileged Endpoint Management capabilities Just-In-Time leveraging our identity provider at a fair cost.
Cons: I don't have anything bad to say about Admin By Request.
Austin B. · Enterprise Security Lead · Retail · January 31, 2025
When I started, I was pulling my hair out trying to manage requests for game updates while also keeping our network secure and preventing unnecessary access. Admin By Request has allowed our ESports program to be self sufficient within a certain bubble that gives them what they need without compromising our network's security. Pricing per end point is reasonable, and the 25 free initial endpoints is a great deal if you are wanting to try it out, or are looking to manage a small number of computers.
Pros: I can actively monitor a deployment of computers used for our ESports computer labs, enable updating of game clients, whitelist specific applications needed and inventory our computers, all from my desk.
Cons: The mobile app while useful seems to be buggy and sometimes an afterthought. Requests get stuck when approved from a push notification, and sometimes the app requires closing to refresh the queue.
