Overview
MHC-owned computers are managed to ensure security and stability. If you lack local administrator privileges, you will be unable to install software or modify system settings independently.
Common scenarios
-
Students: Using borrowed laptops from the Circulation Desk or Saftey Net Fund
-
Faculty and staff: Needing software in labs, classrooms, or on shared office workstations
How to Proceed
- Submit a Request: Complete the MHC software installation request form.
- Review and installation: LITS will review the request and deploy the software securely.
Why the restriction?
Limiting admin access protects the network from security threats and ensures that shared devices remain reliable for everyone.
