Jump Item Roles (25.2-COPY)

What are Jump Item Roles?

Jump Item Roles define the specific permissions and access levels granted to users for different Jump Items, determining what actions they can perform.

How are Jump Item Roles useful to my organization?

Jump Item Roles help administrators manage access control and ensure users can only perform the necessary tasks for their role, enhancing security and efficiency during remote access sessions.

How do I access the Jump Item Roles page?

  1. Use a Chromium-based browser to sign in to your Privileged Remote Access on-prem URL.
    This URL is provided in the BeyondTrust welcome email and includes your site URL followed by /login.
  2. From the left menu, click Jump.
    The Jump Clients page opens and displays by default.
  3. At the top of the page, click Jump Item Roles.

How to configure Jump Item Roles

If more than one role is assigned to a user, then the most specific role for a user is always used. The order of specificity for Jump Item Roles, from most specific to least specific, is:

  • The role assigned to the relationship between a user and a Jump Group on the Jump > Jump Item Roles page.
  • The role assigned to the relationship between a user and a Jump Group on the Users & Security > Group Policies page.
  • The Jump Item Roles configured for a user on the Users & Security > Users page or the Users & Security > Group Policies page.
