Abstract

Security elevation techniques are described. In an implementation, a request is received for additional security access beyond that which is currently specified for a program. An identity that describes the program is checked with a plurality of conditions. The security level is automatically elevated to grant the additional security access when the identity corresponds to one of the conditions that indicates that the security level is to be automatically elevated.
