Rights

Hello,

I'm wondering how others deal with allowing users rights on work computers.

At our school, users aren't normally given Administrator or Power User
rights unless it's absolutely necessary.&nbsp; Occasionally we
encounter employees and students that don't understand how easily a
system can be messed up and the security issues involved nor why we
feel it's necessary to operate like this.


I would like to know what others do, and what policies they have in
place to address these issues.

Thanks,
