We do.
There’s a form to fill out that asks about use case — why it is needed. Also what types of data will be stored and 
manipulated and what services (ssh, https, etc) will be exposed to the network.
Faculty can request on their own, staff and grad students need a supervisor to signal support for the request.  There 
have been instances where the use case statement allowed us to educate end users of other means of getting the job done.

Does anyone have a system in place (possibly a form with a policy backing it up) that you use to identify and approve 
“privileged users” who are allowed to have local admin access to their assigned campus machines?  We are looking to 
make some changes to our policies and procedures and are wondering what others are doing?  Thanks!
