Currently, our IS support staff have full access to the production database. To minimize risk and to satisfy audit concerns, we need to address the issue. Preferably as automated as possible. Does a tool exist, whereby a support staff member could request update access on table abc for x hours and then have the request forwarded for approval and then implemented? The access would then be automatically revoked after the timeout period. Auditing would be invoked, blah, blah, blah.... Any thoughts??
