Individuals with administrative privileges to their computers must follow these guidelines.
- The administrative account should not be used, except for when prompted for authorization by Windows (request for “elevation”). Otherwise, you should use your campus account to log into your computer and for day to day operations. Windows will request administrative privileges when necessary, at which time you can enter the administrative account to perform the action.
- You should only install software on the computer needed for your university-related work.
- You must obtain a legal license for any software you install. This includes software for which a free version exists for noncommercial use. By using an administrative account, you agree to accept responsibility for obtaining a license to any installed software, whether by communicating with us or by your own acquisition.
- If you suspect you may have had a virus, malware, ransomware, or other security problem on your computer, report it to [email protected] immediately.
