System Requirements

The Privilege Authority setup file comprises both the server and client applications. Once both applications are installed, Privilege Authority will use Microsoft Group Policy to distribute rules between the client and server.
The server application requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 for its installation and Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to run. The client can be installed on a Windows workstation or server.
