JIT access means privileges are granted only when a user or process needs them to perform a specific approved task, and those privileges automatically expire or are revoked once the task or time window ends. This sharply limits the period in which compromised credentials or insider misuse could occur. Methods such as temporary elevation, broker-and-remove access, or creation of short-lived accounts implement this model, contrasting with role-based or always-on privileges that persist indefinitely.
