How To Create and Manage Your Just-in-Time (JIT) Elevated Privileged Access


Introduction

Just-in-Time (JIT) Elevated Privileged Access:

  • Elevated privileges allow you to install, and modify software, and system settings on your Michigan Medicine CoreImage Windows device(s)
  • Approvals are up to your department's Responsible Persons discretion/judgement
  • Allows a user to obtain Privileged Access on approved device(s)
  • Privileged Access is activated for approved devices for 4 hours at a time
  • Once obtained, a user may activate Privileged Access on demand until the Approval Expiration date
  • JIT Activation is dependent on taking the Cornerstone course. Once the Training Good Through date expires, the user must retake the Cornerstone Learning course
    • Once you get close to your expiration date, you will receive an email from NoReply-MMCornerstone@csod.com with instructions on how to retake the Cornerstone Learning course
  • A user does not require elevated privileged access to install any software that is part of the Michigan Medicine CoreImage. The list of all the approved software can be found here: KB0023347: CoreImage - Application Packages
  • Reimaged devices cause an issue with JIT that needs to be manually fixed. To fix a reimaged device, a request needs to be sent to the Identity and Access Management team entitled "Reimaged device fix request"
