Okta Privileged Access is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution designed to help customers mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to resources, a critical area of security and risk management in any organization. Okta Privileged Access builds on the current server access control capabilities provided with Okta Advanced Server Access and delivers a unified approach to managing access to all your privileged accounts. It securely connects people, machines, and applications to privileged resources such as servers, containers, and enterprise apps.
A critical capability that Okta Privileged Access offers is the separation of administrative roles and responsibilities. Management of users, groups, resources, and security are separated, with each administrative role designed to perform a specific function. For example, the management of security policies to access resources is separated and decoupled from the administration of the resources. To meet this requirement, the team that sets the policy is separated from the team that administers the resource. Likewise, the administrator managing users and groups can only perform user and group management tasks and isn't involved in administering resources or creating security policies.
