Scenario: A Simple Configuration policy is configured to deny all non-Device Administrators access to the DVD/CD-ROM drive.

Result: A JITA enabled user attempts to access the DVD/CD-ROM drive, they receive the same access denied message as a non JITA enabled user. In addition, another popup will display asking for the users credentials. Once the user successfully authenticates to Security Manager they will be granted access to the DVD/CD-ROM drive.

The JITA period can be authorized for a set number of minutes or 0 minutes. A JITA period of 0 minutes will not expire; the user will have access to the device from the time they authenticate until the time they log off the system.

The JITA period can also be extendable. In this scenario, 1 minute before their JITA period is about to expire they can click the prompt and extend their access without having to re-authenticate.

Whether the user is given a limited or unlimited JITA period, as soon as they log off the system or switch their user and login as someone else, the JITA period expires. The next time the user logs in and attempts to access a JITA enabled device they will be prompted for their credentials. At present JITA is available for the following device classes:

DVD/CD-ROM
