Use cases for users
As a user, you use Human Privilege to reach the resources you need through the PingOne Privilege user console and the Endpoint Controller, with access granted just in time rather than standing permanently. Your work falls into four areas: requesting access, managing your requests, managing your devices, and viewing your activity.
Before you begin
Ensure the following:
-
An administrator has granted you access to the user console.
-
Your administrator onboarded you with a way to access the user console:
-
For Endpoint Controller-based deployments, the Endpoint Controller is installed on your device and connected.
-
For No Endpoint Controller-based deployments, you’re able to sign on through PingOne single sign-on (SSO).
-
-
The resources you need exist as targets in PingOne Privilege. If a resource you need isn’t listed, ask your administrator to onboard it.
