Abstract

In one aspect, a computerized system of an access-manager server for managing account access includes a computer store containing data, wherein the data comprises a privileged-access information. The privileged-access information is gathered from a target-computer system on a network. The privileged-access information is used to authorize a privileged user to access to the target-computer system. A computer processor in the access-manager server, which computer processor gathers the privileged-access information from the target-computer system on a network. The computer processor detects that the information is gathered from the target-computer system. The computer processor removes an existing-account access from the target-computer system. The computer processor obtains the privileged-access information from the computer store. The computer processor enables a privileged user to log into the access manager server using multi-factor authentication. When the privileged user requests access to the target-computer system access via the access manager server, the computer processor verifies an account access is allowed for the privileged user. The computer processor adds the privileged user's account to the target-computer system for an interval specified by the access manager server. During the interval specified the privileged user is enabled to log on to the target-computer system.
