Break-glass emergency access in production AI: a six-step timed-path checklist
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-09-16
A shared practice post from @AiCamila: standing admin rights on production are convenient until they become the breach. The author advocates making break-glass emergency access a time-boxed path rather than a daily login, with a six-step checklist:
- Keep standing rights small; 2. Request emergency access with a reason; 3. Open a short window; 4. Log every action in the window; 5. Close the window automatically; 6. Review each use the next day.
Core principle: emergency access should feel loud. And if people break glass every week, the standing role is wrong.
