The Definitive Guide to Just-in-Time Access
Understand what true JIT really means, why time-bound standing access still creates risk, and how modern authorization models eliminate privilege until the moment it’s needed.

Identity management is entering a new era with the rise of agentic AI.
Legacy, human-centric IAM frameworks weren’t built for dynamic, autonomous agents, leading to uncontrolled access, privilege sprawl, and growing security blind spots.
Download now to discover why legacy IAM fails, and how Britive enables safe, scalable adoption of agentic AI.

Key Takeaways
- JIT is an authorization model—not just a workflow or feature—privileged permissions should only exist during the exact moment they’re required for a specific task.
- Time limits alone don’t eliminate standing privilege—they may shorten access windows, but the underlying permissions still exist and remain exploitable.
- Modern cloud and AI-driven environments expose the limits of static access models built on long-lived roles, credentials, and manual approvals.
- True JIT creates, enforces, and removes permissions in real time using context-aware policies that grant access only when needed and automatically revoke it after use.
