As you learned in this module, managing accounts and users with privileged access is crucial for managing undue risk and restricting privileges for everyday users. With this in mind, it$$s important that you understand the real risks inherent in allowing users with privileged access, as well as the strategies to mitigate and manage these inherent risks.

For this activity, review what you$$ve learned on the matter thus far and address the following issues in detail within your post:

What risks are inherent in allowing accounts with privileged access?

What risks are present for a valid user who is not breached?

What detrimental outcomes could potentially occur $($e$.$g$.,$ changing configurations$)?$

What can occur if an attacker is able to gain control of an elevated account with privileged access?

What damage can they cause?
