A better way to manage privileged access
In this Summer Update, Alex takes a first look at Tailscale PAM: what it is, the problems it’s designed to solve, and how to get started. We’ll set up a PAM connector, add a PostgreSQL database as a service, connect through the Tailscale client and browser, and finish by accessing a Windows machine with Remote Desktop directly from the browser.
Tailscale PAM provides granular, identity-aware access to infrastructure while managing credentials behind the scenes. Admins can also audit access with logs and session playback.
Tailscale PAM beta is free for up to six users.
