Privileged Access Manager API

Service Name: privilegedaccessmanager.googleapis.com

Documentation Summary: Privileged Access Manager (PAM) helps you to follow least privilege best practice to mitigate risks tied to privileged access misuse and abuse. You can shift from always-on standing privileges to on-demand access using time-bound and approval-based access elevations. IAM administrators specifically can use PAM to create entitlements that can grant temporary access to a specific resource scope. Requesters can explore eligible entitlements and request the access needed for their task, and approvers are notified when approvals require their attention. Streamlined workflows facilitated using PAM support several use cases, including the following: <ul> <li>Emergency access for incident responders</li> <li>Time-boxed access for developers for critical deployment or maintenance</li> <li>Temporary access for operators for data ingestion and audits</li> <li>Temporary access to service accounts for automated tasks</li> </ul>
