Welcome to the JeaDsc wiki

JeaDsc v4.0.0-preview0005

The DSC resources can help you quickly and consistently deploy JEA endpoints across your enterprise.

Just Enough Administration (JEA) is a PowerShell security technology that provides a role based access control platform for anything that can be managed with PowerShell. It enables authorized users to run specific commands in an elevated context on a remote machine, complete with full PowerShell transcription and logging. JEA is included in PowerShell version 5 and higher on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, and older OSes with the Windows Management Framework updates.

This repository contains sample role capabilities created by the Microsoft IT team and the official DSC resource that can be used to deploy JEA across your enterprise. General information and documentation for JEA can be found at Microsoft Docs.

Sample Role Capabilities

Microsoft IT have been working with JEA since its inception and have shared some of their role capabilities for general server and IIS maintenance/support. Check them out to learn more about how to create role capability files or download them to use in your own environment.

Deprecated resources

The documentation, examples, unit test, and integration tests have been removed for these deprecated resources. These resources will be removed in a future release.
