The Privileged Actions Approval System (PAAS) prevents a management user from obtaining root-like privileges and circumventing security controls. To prevent this scenario, the PAAS workflow requires an approval from a second user before certain management or account actions can occur. The actions that require approval are high risk if they were performed by bad actors. The picture below shows the workflow f the privileged action approval system.
PAAS supports the following ObjectScale protection modes. These protection modes require PAAS to be enabled.
