Know when someone becomes a local admin

A new local admin on a Windows computer can mean an attacker, or a shortcut someone forgot to undo. Octotor alerts you when it happens.

Watch it

Someone became a local admin on a Windows computer? Octotor tells you. 1:06

The short version: where you see local admins, and the alert.

How it works

Several times a day, Octotor runs its collect-info script on your computers and keeps their details up to date: hardware, disks, users, and who is a local admin.

When a new local admin appears, Octotor alerts you by email, Telegram or webhook.

Where you see it

Open any computer, then Attributes, to see its local administrators.
