Installing the browser extension

Some applications require you to add the Privileged Access Service Browser Extension to your browser before you can open the application. You have two options for installing the browser extension:

  • In the Admin Portal, click here in the banner or navigate to Downloads to install any browser extension.
  • Launch any application that requires the Browser Extension and install it when prompted.

You only need to add the browser extension one time. Installation instructions are browser specific and are performed when you are logged in to the Admin Portal.

  2. Click here in the banner to initiate the download and installation of the browser extension or navigate to Downloads and click Download next to the Chrome extension.

  4. Click Continue in response to the prompt “Are you sure you want to continue?” at the bottom of the window.

    The browser downloads the extension for Chrome.

  5. Click Add.

    This installs the extension in Chrome.
