We've been using MakemeAdmin for a couple of years now and everyone seems to be happy with it and the level of security. On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 10:25 AM Spiars, Vince < 0000019c7c272559-dmarc-request () listserv educause edu> wrote:
This is a problem we have been working this last year and I have been dealing with it for 15 years at my previous employer. Once users have admin access they are loathe to relinquish said privileges. However, the recent EDU compromises have given us (security team of 2) leverage for quite a bit of change. It is now, more discussable when before it was taboo. Best of luck. ------------------------------ *From:* The EDUCAUSE Security Community Group Listserv < SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> on behalf of Emilie Kunze < ekunze () AUSTINCC EDU> *Sent:* Wednesday, April 7, 2021 1:08 PM *To:* SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> *Subject:* [SECURITY] Local Admin Access CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
