What is Firefighter (Emergency Access) (FF)?

A temporary, logged elevated-access ID used for emergency fixes, managed by GRC Emergency Access Management.

Firefighter sessions are logged and reviewed by controllers. They replace permanent broad access in production. Hypercare often uses firefighter access, so the process must be tested before go-live.
