Requirements and Technology
The principle for secure delegation
ScriptRunner actions can be securely delegated to other administrators, service desks or end users. In this way, modern multi-zone security concepts can be implemented at the same time. Delegate App users work in a user context without administrative rights. Only actions assigned by Admin are available to the user. Direct access to the systems in the infrastructure is effectively prevented.
If an action is called, ScriptRunner starts the associated PowerShell script as an administrative deputy on the basis of the stored guidelines. The script is executed on the target system with the stored system rights. The execution log and the results are stored centrally.
The user can be informed about the result in summary.
The principle for automation with third-party systems and applications
Automation and integration with monitoring, IT service management, workflows and applications are carried out via web service and email inbound connectors. In scenarios with third-party systems, ScriptRunner takes on the role of an automation engine that centrally controls script processing at the technical level in the background.
The systems integrated with ScriptRunner can trigger an action process-driven, event-based or interactively. ScriptRunner’s security architecture ensures that only assigned actions can be performed.
The users work as usual in their specific specialist application.

The overall picture as an automation platform for PowerShell
ScriptRunner is an essential part of a fully automated IT infrastructure. The functionality and security of ScriptRunner can be used directly or indirectly.
Direct use takes place with our ScriptRunner Web Apps for development, administration and delegation.
With our connectors you can delegate and automate:
- Integrate monitoring systems for event automation directly. PowerShell actions can be triggered automatically when alarms occur.
- You can increase the added value of IT service management systems. Users can directly trigger PowerShell actions from the ITSM application.
- Integrate PowerShell actions directly into your workflows or applications. The separation of process control or application and script execution decouples dependencies. Changes at the technical level no longer affect workflows and applications.
