The Jamf Connect menu bar app allows standard users to initiate a temporary elevation to a local administrator. Upon activation, a timer will appear in the user's menu bar for the duration of their session. The user is able to conduct any actions available to local administrators during the temporary elevation. When the timer ends, the user will be returned to a standard user.

## Prerequisites
