Is it normal to give 'users' administrator access to their company PC?
- by Phillipe B
Hi,
I have a user who wants to be a administrator of his work PC, he's made some story up about how he can't work without it so I'm told to "fix it" (as if it is a fault he's logged on as a user!).
My IT co-workers and I don't login as administrators due to viruses/malware getting a foot hold and setting themselves up as servers to distribute an attack (yes this happened in the past).
What is the 'norm' for your network users and how do you handle requests for administrator access?
Thanks
