How To Review Administrator Access With BetterShield Ultra?

Choose an emergency account, handle unused administrators and review who still needs privileged access.

With BetterShield Ultra, choose an emergency account, handle unused administrators and review who still needs privileged access.

Note: These controls require the paid BetterShield Ultra add-on alongside the free BetterShield plugin.

What it does

Open BetterShield › Ultra › Administrator accounts. This screen groups three separate controls: an emergency administrator, unused administrator accounts and scheduled access reviews. Each has its own save and safeguards. It does not automatically remove every old administrator.

Step 1: Open the feature

Review the emergency account and choose a permanent administrator kept for recovery.

Step 2: Review administrator access with Ultra

Our advice: keep at least one client-owned permanent administrator and a tested way back in. Review application passwords and assistant connections as well as people.

What it can break and how to undo

A suspension stops sign-in while preserving the account’s role and content. Use Allow Sign-In Again where offered. Revoking a credential or ending temporary access is a different action and cannot recover the old secret.

Final Outcome

Read each saved card and the access-review receipt. The emergency account must remain excluded from handover and unused-account handling.
