Re: Desktop Administrator Question

["Drews, Adam" <adrews () JJC EDU>]

Jeff,

Much like many others on this list, I answered "yes" to question 3 on your survey because we do allow admin access to 
staff and faculty.  However, that access is only given after they fill out a request form and have it approved by 
management.  I would say less than 5% of our users have admin on their workstations.
