Just Enough Administration (JEA) for SharePoint
I thought this might be an interesting concept to look into, JEA, or Just Enough Administration is a concept to provide specific cmdlets, functions, cmdlet parameters, etc. to a specific set of users granting them a limited scope of capabilities for their role. JEA isn't designed for full blown SharePoint Admins, but perhaps you have others who need to get information about a site via PoSh or run a timer job, etc. which otherwise requires Farm Admin + Local Admin rights. JEA works around this full elevated access into providing specific access. I wrote a basic how-to get started with JEA and SharePoint - Just Enough Administration for SharePoint PowerShell.
I have a few use cases for JEA in my organization. Who else would this be of interest to? What targeted activities would you use JEA for in relation to SharePoint?
