NOTE: By default, users are set as standard users on their systems. A local CNSOIT management account is set as admin to allow the support tools to interact with the client machine. If there is a business case for having administrative access (provided that you have read and understood the Administraive Administrative Responsibility Matrix), an exception must be filed with the UT Information Security Office. Once approved, the administrative account will be supplied and the customer will be responsible for using it only to escalate privileges to perform certain tasks on the device. IT IS NOT to be used to log in regularly as a regular account to perform daily activities like email or web browsing. IT IT IS NOT to be used to escalate any standard account to admin account or any admin account to standard account. This must be performed only by the CNS IT group once an exception for the change has been granted. IT IS NOT to be used to remove management or administrative tools installed by CNS IT. Such actions will be reported to the CNS Executive Director of IT and could be escalated to the UT Information Security Office for further disciplinary action.
