What is the main difference between a regular user and a privileged user in CyberArk?

The distinction between a regular user and a privileged user in CyberArk centers on the level of access they possess. Regular users are typically granted standard access, which allows them to perform basic tasks within the system that do not involve sensitive or critical system functions. This level of access is generally suitable for everyday operations without risk of compromising security.

In contrast, privileged users are granted elevated access rights, allowing them to manage sensitive information and perform administrative tasks that regular users cannot. This elevated access enables privileged users to carry out actions like changing system configurations, accessing restricted data, and managing user accounts, which are essential for maintaining security and operational integrity within the CyberArk environment.

This clear delineation of access rights is crucial for maintaining the principle of least privilege, helping organizations minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. Regular users have limited capabilities, while privileged users are entrusted with greater responsibilities due to their elevated access level.
