WAPT Self Service: Make it easy to manage administration rights
At Tranquil IT, we work every day with system administrators looking for simple, effective solutions to manage and secure their IT assets. One of the major challenges they frequently encounter is the management of user administration rights.
Providing greater flexibility while maintaining a high level of security is a real headache! That’s where self-service comes in.
Administrators VS users: a never-ending battle
At Tranquil IT, we have two priorities:
- Designing innovative and practical tools.
- Make life easier for system and network administrators.
With WAPT, it’s already possible to deploy software on an IT estate in less than two minutes. But why stop there? We believe that the management of administration rights can be made even smoother thanks to a controlled self-service approach.
Why limit users’ administrative rights?
While some users feel they need administrative rights to install software, change settings or even add a simple font, this represents a major cybersecurity risk. An ill-informed user can easily execute malicious code or become a gateway for attacks targeting the entire network.
It is therefore crucial to reduce administration rights, while allowing users access to the software and functionality they need to work effectively. This is where the self-service solution comes into its own.
Self-service: flexibility and security
The idea of IT self-service is to provide users with an interface where they can install authorised software themselves, without requiring administration rights. Here are the main advantages of this approach:
- User autonomy: They can install and update their work tools in complete security.
- Time-saving for administrators: Fewer support tickets linked to installation requests.
- Enhanced security: Only software validated by the administrator is accessible, reducing the risks associated with uncontrolled installations.
Adopt self-service now!
With WAPT Self-Service, we offer a secure and efficient alternative to traditional administration rights management. This module enables administrators to:
- Define a list of applications available in self-service.
- Authorise installations and updates without requiring administrative rights.
- Supervise and control user actions via a centralised interface.
Limiting administrative rights doesn’t mean restricting user productivity. On the contrary, by integrating a self-service solution like WAPT Self-Service, you can offer your staff a fluid and secure experience, while reducing the workload on administrators.

A WAPT Self Service software for users:
On the user side, the experience is designed to be simple and intuitive in order to meet basic needs! Once connected to WAPT Self Service, you have access to:
- Software that you can install or update on the workstation.
- Software installed on your workstation that you can uninstall, if the mood strikes you.
- Search and filter functions for software, especially for large companies.
- A wealth of information about software before you install it.
When it comes to installing software, you can run several installations at the same time, which can be handy when new staff arrive. You can also consult the taskbar for more information on installing an application.
A software Self Service for administrators:
With WAPT Self-Service, it is possible to filter the software displayed according to users or company departments (AD group to be precise).
This filtering system gives users permission to install the software they need, while guaranteeing the security of the software deployed on the estate.
You can say goodbye to the days when users would ask you to install wacky software or software that wasn’t necessary for their business. You’ve got it, with WAPT Self Service you save time and gain flexibility when it comes to managing rights on your IT estate.
WAPT Self Service, Enterprise or Community version?
WAPT Self-Service is available in both the Community and Enterprise versions. However, there is one notable difference between the two: filtering by AD user or group is a feature exclusive to WAPT Self-Service Enterprise. This advanced option enables finer-grained management of installations, giving systems administrators optimum control.
Good news! You can try WAPT Enterprise free of charge for one month. A perfect opportunity to discover the benefits of secure and efficient self-service.
