Just Enough Administration (JEA)

A PowerShell security technology that limits remote administrators to specific cmdlets and parameters through constrained endpoints.

Definition

JEA uses role capability files and session configuration files to define what users can run, often using temporary virtual accounts with elevated rights. It supports least privilege and full transcription.

Example

Help desk staff can run Restart-Service only for the Print Spooler via a JEA endpoint.

Exam tip

JEA implements least privilege for PowerShell Remoting; pair it with just-in-time access for privileged roles.
