In the previous chapter, we elaborated on PowerShell security, an increasingly important topic. You learned the pitfalls of security and the techniques attackers commonly use.

Just Enough Administration (JEA) is a great technology within PowerShell for delegating tasks that need a higher rights level or additional cmdlets. These can be provided via central JEA servers, controlling the connecting computers and users, and delegating rights based on a role-based model. You will see the benefits of using JEA throughout this chapter.

These are the topics we'll be covering in this chapter:

• JEA described on a technical level
• Session authoring
• Role capabilities
• Session configurations
• Deploying session configurations
• Use cases
