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
