We do not restrict admin rights (and all proposals to do so have been squelched before getting very far).

Subject: [SECURITY] Restricting PC Admin Rights


Not sure if there is somewhere else I can get this info, I’m sure it’s been asked before, but I am checking to see how 
many of your institutions restrict admin rights.  We are putting a proposal together to leadership to do exactly that 
as we have had a number of folks fall for scams that involve the installation of software on their PCs.



Thanks,
