Founded in Denmark over a decade ago, the company now serves customers in more than 160 countries and has grown over 900% in five years. The platform gives IT teams control over privilege and access through three products, Endpoint Privilege Management, Secure Remote Access, and Web Access Management, all delivered without additional infrastructure or dedicated staff. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 Endpoint Privilege Management is the platform's foundation, giving IT teams control over elevated privileges on endpoints. It enforces least privilege by removing the standing local admin rights that malware and credential theft depend on, then returns elevation just in time through Admin Sessions or per-application Run As Admin, with files scanned by OPSWAT MetaDefender before anything is elevated. It runs across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Secure Remote Access extends that same approval-based model to remote work, covering remote support, server administration, and vendor access without the VPNs or jump servers those tasks usually demand. Built on Zero Trust principles, it grants browser-based connections that open only when needed and terminate once the work is done, split across three components: Unattended Access, Vendor Access, and Remote Support. Every session runs through an approved request with MFA, and can be both logged and video recorded. Web Access Management brings the same control to how users browse the web and download software, working directly at the endpoint. It intercepts browsing and download traffic locally and evaluates it against defined policies, setting which browsers and sites are permitted and gating downloads behind approval or Intune compliance, with OPSWAT MetaDefender scanning files before release. Trusted activity moves through without friction, while high-risk downloads are blocked, quarantined, or routed for approval, each one logged for a full audit trail. * * * Product Website Admin By Request Seller [Admin By Request](https://www.g2.com/sellers/admin-by-request) Discussions [Admin By Request Community](https://www.g2.com/products/admin-by-request/discuss) Languages Supported Danish, German, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Chinese (Simplified) Overview by Sophie Alice Dodson Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Admin By Request. ### Free Plan $0.00 25 Seat With One-Time Purchase [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/admin-by-request/pricing) ![Verified User in Information Technology and Services](/assets/icons/anonymous-avatar-purple-4ae1032bdb50ee5682003170c8184aee790d25958bd397abbd384ba52c596a7b.svg "Verified User in Information Technology and Services") AI Verified User in Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/19/2025 "Straightforward, rock-solid, and does what we need without getting in the way" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Admin By Request? Admin By Request provides the multi-OS PAM controls that our company needs in an easy-to-use and easy-to-administer solution at a reasonable price point. We use it daily, and it plays an extremely important role in ensuring cybersecurity. I can recommend it to any organization. Thanks to the free tier, Admin By Request makes it easy to start small-scale testing and deployment, and to identify the areas you need to focus on to ensure a smooth rollout. A single solution that achieves nearly identical UX on Windows and macOS (we haven't tested Linux yet) is very helpful. This reduces the need for user training and awareness, reduces the workload for administrators, and decreases inquiries to the IT department, which is appreciated. For teams managing fully remote devices, the peace of mind gained from experiencing "It Just Works" is immeasurable. As long as the device can connect to the Internet, Admin By Request supports all necessary operations. The logging is amazing! Finally, a solution that understands the importance of logging has arrived!! The flexibility of deployment options makes it possible for any organization to restrict admin privileges!! Whether you take a laissez-faire approach where "users can perform operations at any time, but those operations are logged," or a strict approach where "all admin operations are reviewed and approved/denied," or something in between, Admin By Request can accommodate. We hardly ever need to contact Customer Support, the documentation is comprehensive, and the deployment process is straightforward. Integrating Admin By Request with our Microsoft 365/Entra ID tenant is easy, and it supports both SSO and group-based management. The absence of an "SSO Tax" is truly appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Admin By Request? The auto-deletion of long-inactive devices in the Inventory is both a blessing and a curse. I wish it could be changed in the admin settings. If a user takes an extended leave or uses a different device for a few months, I would like to be able to see that unused device in the Inventory even after 90 days. I wish the user-facing request UI could be more customizable. Of course, "Simple is best," but users are often required to provide more accurate and detailed descriptions when explaining the justification for their request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Admin By Request solving and how is that benefiting you? The problem of easy-to-manage PAM that doesn't break the bank is a difficult one. Many companies don't even try because they think it's either too difficult or too expensive. Admin By Request almost completely solves the problems of endpoint PAM while still being easy to use and at a price point that company executives can swallow.

Head of Desktop Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/25/2024 "Fantastic product to address a contentious problem" 5/5 What do you like best about Admin By Request? Admin By Request is a great product that has become even better over time. Jeff and Luke at Fast Track are accessible and willing to listen to feedback and ideas for further inproving the product. In short, a fantastic solution for adressing the contentious issue of removing local administrator priveleges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Admin By Request? From my experiences with Admin By Request, there isn't a downside to using this product but, as a user of the product since 2020, to be implementing Admin By Request today would be so much easier as the product has evolved at pace since 2020 and become so feature rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Admin By Request solving and how is that benefiting you? As lockdown hit in early 2020, we had 650 users with local admin rights. We were looking for a product that would help us remove local admin rights but still enable our user base to work effectively, most essential when everyone was suddenly working remotely. A small pilot group of 30 users soon grew to encompass all 650 existing local administrators, to give us full visibility and auditing of all activities carried out as a local admin, along with a robust approval process. The initial rollout was so successful, we continued on to roll out the product to all 4500 of our staff devices which includes both Windows and Mac and soon to be Linux devices. The product is intuitive, flexible and highly configurable and has been a great success within my organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/26/2024 "Endpoint privilege management made easy" 5/5 What do you like best about Admin By Request? - very easy to implement on clients and to manage - customer support responding time is quite fast and always competent - no more local admin groups needed - less unblocking of applications needed in comparison to other solutions - it doesn't stop your working flow, implements seamlessly in your processes - Monitoring of inventory shows all needed information and more - connecting to infrastructure (on-prem or cloud) -\> implementation not too difficult and well documented - all in all good and modern solution for end-users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Admin By Request? - some limitations for administrative users who need system close applications which sometimes need workarounds - installation of certain applications with dependancies can be a little bit difficult to automate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Admin By Request solving and how is that benefiting you? We had a lot of work in the past by unblocking files, folders etc. with our former solution. With AbR you barely have to whitelist anything, even better, most of the time installations and executions run immediately in the right user context and therefore generate a work flow, which we haven't seen before. No more local admin password management - solutions like (cloud) LAPS are getting obsolete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I can honestly say that we haven't found anything that we don't like about AdminByRequest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Admin By Request solving and how is that benefiting you? Before we implmented AdminByRequest in our organisation we maintained a list of staff with local administrative privileges on their PCs. This was the status quo, and had been since the days of Windows NT. However, we realised this needed to change as part of our campaign to increase our security posture and Privilege Management is now delivered by AdminByReuqest. The bigest surprise was just how quickly we were able to configure the system and deploy to endpoints. The simplicity of the solution meant that our staff adapted to the change quickly without any major hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Growing historically and thanks to special software, we had a large number of local admin accounts. Any approach to a solution involved a lot of effort and confrontation. With AdminbyRequest it was really possible to turn off global on the fly. Integration and RollOut was not noticable for the User. The approval process also gives us much more insight into the desired and undesired software. For us the best, most uncomplicated solution on the market.
