We restrict admin rights. We had the backing of the EVP when an instructor downloaded the wrong software. Employees were upset when they lost their ability to change their desktop. ____________________ Susan McHugh Chief Information Officer Mount Wachusett Community College s_mchugh () mwcc mass edu<mailto:s_mchugh () mwcc mass edu> 978-630-9174 From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> On Behalf Of Andrew Chiarello Sent: Monday, August 13, 2018 11:08 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Restricting PC Admin Rights We do not restrict admin rights (and all proposals to do so have been squelched before getting very far).

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.
