JITA Configuration allows the administrator to view and modify lists of users and groups that are

JITA-enabled users will be able to access some devices for which policies created in the
Device
Class Configuration
or
Simple Configuration
view have been restricted.
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 who attempts to access the DVD/CD-ROM drive receives the
same “access denied” message as a non-JITA-enabled user. Then a balloon message is
displayed, asking if the user would like JITA access. If the balloon is clicked, the authenticate
user dialog is displayed. When the user enters credentials successfully, access is granted 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. Users will have access to the device from the time they authenticate until the
time they log off the system.
