Securing Privileged Access with Session Recording and RBAC

Privileged Session Recording combined with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is the fastest, cleanest way to secure admin activity without slowing work. Privileged Session Recording captures exactly what happens in sensitive sessions: commands, screen output, and context. RBAC decides who can start or join those sessions, based on defined roles and permissions. Together, they close gaps that passwords, VPNs, and perimeter defenses leave open.

RBAC makes access rules explicit. Assign roles to users, grant the minimum permissions for that role, and revoke them when no longer needed. This stops permission creep and prevents former employees or contractors from holding hidden access keys. Privileged Session Recording enforces accountability—no more disputes over who ran a command or changed a configuration.

For compliance, audits require proof. Privileged Session Recording provides immutable logs. RBAC ensures only authorized identities appear in those logs. When combined, security teams can track every privileged command back to a specific role and user, with full video or text playback. This is critical for regulated industries, zero-trust architectures, and security-first organizations.

Modern threats move fast. Privileged accounts are prime targets. By binding Privileged Session Recording to RBAC policies, you create a system that not only records sensitive actions but also prevents unauthorized users from ever performing them. The cost of missing this control is high; the setup cost is low if done with the right tools.
