The Just Enough Administration (JEA) feature is available starting from PowerShell version 5.0 and allows you to delegate administrative privileges to anything you can manage with PowerShell. The main purpose of PowerShell JEA is to limit privileges. JEA allows you to grant non-admin users permissions to perform specific administrative tasks without giving them server or service administrator rights (AD, Exchange, SharePoint, etc.). Using JEA, you can set which users can run specific cmdlets, functions or PowerShell scripts with admin privileges and log all actions (similar to PowerShell command history).
