Administration Rights for Regular Users

CA ControlMinder lets you grant ordinary users (non-administrators) the necessary rights and privileges to perform administrative tasks without being members of the Administrators group. The ability to delegate tasks by granting administrative privileges in this granular way is a significant advantage of CA ControlMinder.

• A record in the SUDO class stores a command script to allow users to run the script with borrowed permissions.
• The data property value is the command script. This value can be modified by adding to it optional script parameter values.
• Each record in the SUDO class identifies a command for which a user can borrow permissions from another user.
• The key of the SUDO class record is the name of the SUDO record. This name is used instead of the command name when a user executes the commands in the SUDO record.
