Abstract
When a user inputs an action request, such as a requested command, to be performed on a target machine, a management system receives the request and verifies it with a separate authentication and permission system. The verified command request is sent to the target machine. An authentication worker on the target machine accesses a set of policies, local to the target machine, to identify a least privileged execution environment in which the requested command can be performed. The authentication worker on the target machine launches the requested command within the identified least privileged execution environment on the target machine.
