Admin By Request EPM earns the SourceForge Fall 2026 Leader award. Our thanks go to every sysadmin and IT manager who took the time to share an honest review.
Admin By Request is back at it-sa 2026 in Nuremberg, October 27 to 29. Two days on the Forum A stage end with a live Q&A featuring F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg.
Admin By Request for Linux 4.1 is out, with policy-file scoping and a long list of customer-driven fixes. RHEL, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu endpoints all benefit.
Install-based inventory lists what registered during setup. Portable apps, scripts, and executables run from user folders never show up on that report.
TerminalFix tricks employees into running malicious PowerShell, then maps Active Directory and tunnels out. Endpoint privilege limits shrink what one slip allows.
From DNS tunneling to cloud uploads, attackers move stolen data through channels you rarely watch. Small, slow transfers slip under most volume alerts.
Just-in-Time elevation grants admin access for a single task and then revokes it, so GCC organizations cut endpoint risk without getting in the way of the work.
RMM abuse turns into ransomware fast because these tools run with high privilege. An attacker who controls one skips the slow work of escalating on their own.
Admin By Request for Windows 9.0 introduces Web Access Management, controlling browsers, sites, and downloads on the endpoint. Session tools round it out.
