Just-in-Time (JIT) Access

Access granted only for the time it's actually needed and automatically revoked afterward — the structural fix for standing privilege.

aka: JIT access

Instead of holding broad access permanently in case it’s needed, JIT ties a grant to a specific, time-boxed reason — an incident, a deployment window, a support ticket — and expires it automatically rather than trusting someone to remember to revoke it later.
