Temporary Device Access

This feature allows you to permit temporary access to a device on the client for a specific period. If a user wants temporary access to a device on the client, he can send a request to the Administrator for temporary access. An OTP is generated and shared. The client uses this OTP to access the device for the specific period.

1. Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.
