Zero standing privileges
Zero standing privileges replace persistent access with just-in-time (JIT), just-enough access (JEA) for the task at hand, governed by policy, and revoked automatically when work ends.
Trusted by security teams worldwide
Standing access expands risk, slows response, and clouds visibility
Standing privilege expands across identities
Temporary access often remains after work ends, while human users, workloads, and AI agents retain more privilege than they need.
Access can't keep up with work
Manual approvals and cleanup slow engineers down during incidents, deployments, and the day-to-day work that can't wait.
No visibility into who accesses what
When an audit asks who had access, why it was approved, what they could do, and when it ended, the answers are scattered or missing.
How 1Password governs Zero Standing Privileges
Reduce standing-access risk
Keep engineering moving
Strengthen audit and compliance
Govern AI agent access
Bring zero standing privileges to critical access
See every identity and permission, grant access only when it's needed and scoped to the task, and right-size what remains, so nothing permanent is left behind.
See who has access to what across your entire infrastructure
Map every identity and permission across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and databases, and surface excess access and dormant accounts.
Grant just-in-time, just-enough permissions by default
Create access in each system's native policy language when it's needed, then remove it automatically when the session ends.
Right-size access as your environment and needs change
Surface standing privileged access and over-broad permissions with remediation guidance your team can act on.
"We required a solution to eliminate excessive standing access without slowing down engineers' work."

What are zero standing privileges?
Zero standing privilege replaces persistent access with just-in-time (JIT) privilege access granted as just-enough-access (JEA), only for a specific task and period. Access is governed by policy and removed automatically when the work ends.
