We're reviewing what valid use cases there might be for giving someone local admin privileges on their workstation (PC or Mac). Currently we default to no admin rights. On Macs we are running Mojave and have just started using Jamf Pro. On PCs we are at Win10 and just starting to deploy InTune. I don't' think we haven't fully leveraged these tools capabilities to allow users more flexibility with self-service apps, etc. I'm curious what typical cases folks are seeing for various groups of users (faculty, staff, etc.) that would require giving users full admin privileges. I did run across this thread from 2018: http://listserv.educause.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=SECURITY;6e798529.1808 Thanks.
