1. An IHS (Information Handling System) configured to support a console for use in managing a data center, the IHS comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memory devices coupled to the processors, the memory devices storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the processors, cause the IHS to:
detect a denial of a request by a lower-level administrator of the data center to perform a management task involving an asset of the data center, wherein the request is denied on the basis of the lower-level administrator having insufficient privileges to perform the management task;
in response to detecting the denial of the request by the lower-level administrator based on insufficient privileges, identify a higher-level administrator with sufficient privileges to authorize a one-time permission for the management task;
automatically upon detecting the denial of the request, issue a request for the one-time permission from the higher-level administrator for the lower-level administrator to perform only the management task;
when approval is received from the higher-level administrator, configure a one-time permission authorizing the lower-level administrator to perform only a single instance of the management task only on the asset of the datacenter;
initiate a monitor that detects state changes for the asset of the datacenter of the denied request; and
upon the monitor detecting a state change for the asset that corresponds to the management task of the one-time permission,
revoke the one-time permission.
