A local administrator is a person who has access to manage her or his own computer. The responsibilities of a local administrator involve the operating system, hardware installations and configurations, application installations, and upgrades. In most cases, Technology Services for CCHL and CEEL can work with clients to install and update software and make changes to configurations. A local administrator account is only provisioned under exceptional circumstances.

Client Use Administrative Rights Policy

Managed Machine Group Administrator

In some cases, a faculty or staff member serves as a lab coordinator and manages third party / custom software on a group of computers. A client serving in this capacity may request a privileged account. If you are a faculty or staff member managing custom software on multiple machines and you require administrative access to do so, please contact Technology Services for CCHL and CEEL directly.

The goal of the printer policy is to control costs, ensure that equipment is properly maintained and in working order, and ensure compliance of responsible use of computing equipment (i.e. for University business).
