What does the "User Self-Service" capability allow in CyberArk EPM?

The "User Self-Service" capability in CyberArk EPM is designed to empower users by allowing them to request privilege elevation independently, without the need for immediate administrator intervention. This means that when a user encounters a situation where they need elevated permissions to perform a task, they can submit a request for those privileges. This process is typically governed by an approval workflow that ensures security and compliance while giving users a level of autonomy to manage their own access needs.

The benefit of this approach lies in reducing bottlenecks that often occur when users must wait for administrators to grant access for one-time tasks. By implementing a self-service mechanism, organizations can streamline operations and enhance productivity, providing users with the capability to respond quickly to their needs while still maintaining control and oversight through approval processes.

The other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of the User Self-Service feature, which is specifically aimed at enabling request-based elevation rather than permanent changes to access, shared permissions, or requiring constant administrator oversight on every request.
