We use Viewfinity for endpoint privilege escalation and worked pretty good for us.

We aren't looking to remove the control of the PC from our users, but would like to force them to be aware when they are elevating a process. An ideal solution would allow the user to initiate an elevation and then be prompted to enter their username/password again, or perhaps enter a code or username/password that would expire after a short time. WSC does not have a 24/7 helpdesk so the approval and delivery of any codes or username/password combinations would need to be automated. Does anyone doing anything like this? I'm interested to hear what your approaches are and what tools you use. Thank you, -Chad
