Information Security vs Senior Manager Fun#2 - Admin right for "VIP" user


Here is another deja vu.....

Senior Manager mate: Love, have you got that report finished? I need it before lunch to present it to the Board.
Personal Assistant love: Sir, not yet. I tried to install that reporting software you gave me but it just failed... I tried it many time but it keeps telling me something like "insufficient right"... hell I know what's that mean...

Senior Manager mate:  Ah... I remember that.. something to do with admin right that IT folks set. Why these IT folks keep making my life harder each day!  <*picking up the phone and call the IT Supplier chap*> Can you come here immediately? I need you to install a reporting software on my PA's PC immediately.
<* IT Supplier chap arrived 5 minutes later*>

Senior Manager mate: Give my P.A the admin right. I need her to do other reports with other software and I don't like the need to call you every time I need to do so. I insist.
IT Supplier cap: If that you want Sir, please sign this admin right request form.... but before that, you should know that having admin right could increase the risk of virus infection....
Senior Manager mate: <* interrupting IT Supplier chap*> Yeah.. I know all that stuff... just get it done now!
