Operating System Authorization Management

Operating system authorization management software allows organizations to control privileges and rights associated with operating system activities. Typically an operating system will provide its own mechanisms for controlling authorization, however these mechanisms may not be flexible or extensive enough to meet an organization’s identity and access management needs.

Centrify DirectAuthorize’s centralized, role-based privilege management features help you manage and enforce fine-grained control over user access and privileges on UNIX and Linux systems. According to Gartner, UNIX and Linux systems inherently lack a scalable and simple model for administrative delegation, and organizations that give too many users root permission run unnecessary security risks and will invariably fail audits. By controlling how users access systems and what they can do, DirectAuthorize enables you to lock down sensitive systems and eliminate uncontrolled use of root accounts and passwords. DirectAuthorize also delivers robust entitlement management for UNIX and Linux that goes well beyond complex, script-based authorization management products.
