Re: Local Admin Access

["Madl, Michael" <michael.madl () INDWES EDU>]

Emilie,

The majority of users @ IWU do not have admin access. The MAC users [special group] tend to fight over having this 
access and the success rate for restriction is 50/50.  We are slowly working towards compliance.  The key is 
establishing university policy that is signed off by our Executive council.  Without that, any policy/initiative tends 
to have zero teeth.  Explaining the security benefits sometimes falls on deaf ears when it comes to faculty but I would 
say, for the most part, folks are on board after walking through the reasoning behind it.

Not much detail [apologies] but just passing on my experience.

We are curious how other institutions handle local admin access for faculty/staff?

Thank you,
Emilie
