Privileges is a free macOS application from SAP that lets enterprise users temporarily elevate their accounts to administrator rights for a set timeframe. It supports MDM configuration, a command-line tool, smart card authentication, and works fully offline.

Use cases

  • temporarily grant admin rights on a managed mac
  • install software without permanent administrator access
  • revoke admin rights at login for security
  • manage mac admin policy via mdm configuration profiles
  • elevate privileges from the command line with touch id
  • run standard user accounts as a security best practice

When to choose

  • you manage a fleet of macs in an enterprise and want least-privilege access
  • users occasionally need admin rights for installs but should not keep them permanently
  • you need offline, MDM-manageable privilege elevation with CLI and webhook support

When to avoid

  • you need network-centralized privilege auditing or approval workflows
  • you are not on macOS
  • you need per-command sudo policy control rather than account-level elevation
