Re: Restricting PC Admin Rights

[Jack Barrett <jwbarrett () MASSASOIT MASS EDU>]

We restrict admin rights. We allow admin rights if they sign a "Admin Access Request" form. This needs to be signed by 
the employee's supervisor and approved by IT

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.

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

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.
