Just-in-Time Access

Eliminate Standing Privileges, Not Productivity

Standing access is standing risk. Opal enforces time-bound, just-in-time access policies that eliminate excessive permissions without slowing anyone down. Access is requested through self-service workflows, evaluated against policy, and automatically revoked on expiration. No tickets. No stale roles. No attack surface you forgot about.

The Problem

75% of Breaches Start With Over-Privileged Accounts

Your employees have access they haven't used in months. Service accounts run around the clock with admin privileges they need for five minutes. Every standing permission is a vulnerability — and traditional IAM can't close the gap fast enough.

How Opal Solves It

From "Just-in-Case" to Just-in-Time

Opal layers on top of your existing infrastructure — Okta, AWS, Google Workspace, and 50+ more — to transform static permissions into dynamic, time-bound access. Start with your most sensitive resources and expand from there. No rip-and-replace required.

Zero standing privileges for sensitive resources · Automatic expiration and revocation · One-click emergency access with full audit trail

Key Capabilities

Key Capabilities

02

AI-Powered Request Evaluation

AI-Powered Request Evaluation

Opal's authorization reasoning engine goes beyond simple if/then logic. It understands who needs what, when they need it, and why — automatically routing approvals, suggesting access duration, and flagging anomalies before they become incidents.

  • Learns from historical access patterns

  • Suggests optimal access windows

  • Auto-escalates high-risk requests

03

Security Without Friction

Security Without Friction

No more IT tickets gathering dust. No more productivity killed by "submit and wait." Opal's JIT access works where your teams already work, in Slack, Teams, or via direct API. Pre-approved requests execute instantly. Everything else gets smart-routed in seconds.

  • Self-service access portal

  • Mobile approvals for managers

  • Break-glass emergency access with full audit trail

04

Continuous Risk Reduction

Continuous Risk Reduction

Every JIT policy you implement immediately reduces risk. Opal's live dashboard shows exactly how much exposure you're eliminating: by user, by resource, by department.

Beyond Basic JIT

The Platform Advantage

The Platform Advantage

While others stop at time-based access, Opal keeps going. Layer on contextual controls, multi-party approvals, and continuous verification. Build a complete identity security posture that adapts as threats evolve.

OpalQuery operates against Opal's unified identity and access graph; users, resources, and groups from every connected system. A few examples:

Programmable governance

Express JIT rules, SoD constraints, and break-glass procedures as version-controlled code with OpalScript

AI-powered reviews

Query your full identity graph in natural language with OpalQuery to surface orphaned accounts, SoD conflicts, and over-provisioned roles

Just-in-time access

Paladin evaluates every request against identity context, access history, and peer norms — approving or escalating with specific reasoning

Agent identity governance

Govern AI agents under the same policy framework as human identities
