In order to satisfy the requirements of the ITAM audit, OIT is restricting administrator permissions on all UCCS owned devices, which include office and lab computers running both Windows and Mac operating systems. This change will result in campus members no longer having full administrator rights over their individual workstations or lab computers. This will limit your ability to make certain changes to your computers and install certain software, however, we have found that these changes will not impact normal day to day operation and usage for campus members. OIT is ready to quickly assist with any challenges you encounter with these restrictions.
Requesting Exceptions
OIT recognizes that there could be cases where admin exceptions are warranted. When such cases arise, members of campus leadership, including Deans and Directors, will be required to submit any requests to the OIT Service Desk where they will be reviewed for approval by the Security Team. These requests should identify a valid business need for proper consideration and include the names of the computers affected.
