The feature is built on the same technology Microsoft has used for year in order to run operations in their datacenters. It combines Just In-Time Access (JIT), Just Enough Administration (JEA), Approval workflow and robust Auditing to enable admins to still perform their tasks, while having zero users with standing access to highly privileged roles overall.
