Endpoint Privilege Management Elevations (30 days)

The question it answers: Which apps did users run elevated through Endpoint Privilege Management in the last 30 days, and how often?

Endpoint Privilege Management lets standard users run approved apps elevated. The elevation log shows what people actually need admin rights for: frequently confirmed elevations are candidates for automatic rules (fewer prompts and tickets), and unmanaged elevations show where rules are missing. It also shows whether the add-on is used at all.
