Wallix Access Management

Built for secure privileged operations at scale, Wallix Access Management helps security and operations teams govern who can access which critical systems, when, and under what approval rules, while keeping investigations and audits simple across multi-site and multi-team environments.

Why teams choose this series

• A single management console to control access workflows across connected Bastion environments (multi-site / multi-admin operations).
• Approval workflows for time-bound, policy-driven access requests (reduces “always-on admin” risk).
• Faster investigations with advanced search across events and activity (useful for audit and incident response).
• Supports Just-In-Time access thinking (grant access only when needed, for a defined period).
• Cleaner operations for admins/approvers with workflow usability improvements (including mobile-friendly approval handling in supported versions).

Wallix Access Management At a glance :

• What it is: An access governance layer designed to centralize oversight and control of privileged access workflows across Bastion-managed environments.
• Best for: Privileged access approvals, third-party/vendor governance, audit-ready operations, and multi-site admin teams
• Licensing style: Typically aligned to your deployment scope (users/administrators/approvers) and environment needs; packaged per agreement
• Activation: Delivered as a software entitlement under WALLIX software terms, applied through the platform’s administrative workflow (works for connected or controlled environments).
• What we need from you: number of admins/approvers, number of Bastion environments to manage, expected access request volume, required retention/compliance needs, term preference

License Overview

The Wallix Access Management license is the entitlement mechanism that activates the product scope you purchase, typically defining the permitted usage boundaries for your deployment and the software rights under your agreement. In procurement terms, the goal is to align licensing to how you actually run privileged operations: how many administrators will manage access policies, how many approvers will validate requests, and whether you need workflows geared toward third-party/vendor access and regulated audit requirements. Because access governance is often a “front door” process, sizing also benefits from understanding request volumes (peak windows, maintenance events) and the compliance controls you must meet (approval evidence, searchable history, and retention expectations). From an operations perspective, once the entitlement is issued, your team applies it through the administrative interface so purchased capabilities are enabled and tracked under your contract. If you operate in a controlled environment, the same entitlement model can be handled with a file-transfer approach rather than requiring direct outbound connectivity from the management system. This keeps the platform deployable in standard enterprise networks as well as government/regulated zones where connectivity is restricted, while still preserving a clean compliance trail for approvals and access governance.

What customers get after buying

After purchase, you receive the entitlement package for your selected scope and term. Your admin downloads the context JSON file from the Access Management interface, submits it through the WALLIX Support portal, then imports the returned signed license JSON to enable the purchased entitlements.

• The entitlement package for your selected scope (admins/approvers/workflow needs) and term
• Delivery guidance aligned to your environment (connected vs controlled deployment constraints)

Product Overview

At a high level, Wallix Access Management provides a central governance layer that helps you standardize how privileged access is requested, approved, and audited, especially when you have multiple teams, multiple sites, or multiple Bastion environments.

Core technical flow

• Request → approve → access: Users submit access requests; approvers validate them against policy, then access is granted for the approved scope and duration (design dependent).
• Centralized oversight: A unified console can connect to several Bastions and improve cross-environment visibility for admins and auditors.
• Time-bound access control (JIT): Access can be granted only when needed and automatically aligned to a predefined time window, reinforcing least-privilege operations.
• Auditability by design: Approval actions, access events, and investigations benefit from centralized search and workflow consistency across environments.
• Approver usability: Approval workflows are designed to be handled efficiently (including responsive handling in supported versions), which matters when approvals happen during maintenance windows.

Ordering Guide and Pricing

If you’re selecting Wallix Access Management for a new rollout or an expansion, ordering is mainly driven by governance scope: how many people administer policies, how many approvers will validate requests, how many Bastion environments you want centralized control over, and what your compliance requirements demand (approval evidence, retention expectations, audit readiness).

To size the order quickly, confirm: admins + approvers + governance scope (single vs multi-Bastion) + compliance/retention needs + term + support level.

Pricing for Wallix Access Management is usually driven by:

• Subscription term (annual/multi-year, depending on agreement)
• Size of the governance footprint (admin/approver scope and operational needs)
• Integrations and compliance requirements (audit workflows, retention, reporting expectations)
• Support level and deployment constraints (standard vs controlled environments)

For the fastest quote, send your admin/approver counts, number of Bastion environments, expected approval volume (peak periods), term preference, and any regulatory constraints.

Quick guidance

• If you already know your governance sizing (admins/approvers + environment scope), send it and we’ll map the right package quickly.
• If you’re unsure, write “Help me choose” and share your environment type (IT/OT), third-party access needs, and how approvals are handled today.

Wallix Access Management Activation Guide

Wallix Access Management supports practical activation workflows that fit both connected enterprise networks and tightly controlled environments under WALLIX software entitlement terms.

Connected / online activation

Admin console → Apply entitlement provided under your agreement → Services enabled → Compliance maintained

Controlled / offline activation

Obtain entitlement via approved channel → Transfer entitlement to the isolated environment via secure workstation → Apply in admin console → Compliance maintained without direct internet access

This flexibility helps you deploy the platform in standard enterprise, government, and regulated environments without forcing a one-size-fits-all connectivity model.
