What feature can be enabled to limit permissions for administrators connecting to Azure virtual machines?

Just Enough Administration (JEA) is a key feature in Windows PowerShell that allows for the implementation of limited administrative privileges. By enabling JEA, organizations can create a security context where administrators have only the permissions necessary to perform specific tasks within Azure virtual machines, reducing the risk of over-privileged users. This principle of least privilege is crucial in cybersecurity, as it minimizes the potential attack surface by limiting what administrators can do when they connect to the virtual machines.

JEA works by defining roles and commands that users can execute, effectively restricting access to critical resources and operations. This tailored approach helps organizations comply with governance and security policies while ensuring that administrators can still perform their necessary functions without excessive permissions. Through the use of JEA, organizations can better protect their Azure environment and maintain tighter control over administrative actions.
