JEA: Just Enough Administration

Just Enough Administration (JEA) is a security technology that enables delegated administration for anything that can be managed with PowerShell. JEA allows you to reduce the number of administrators on your machines by leveraging virtual accounts or group managed service accounts that perform privileged actions on behalf of regular users. It limits what users can do by specifying which cmdlets, functions, and external commands they can run.
