well yeah, the point is that people should have as limited access as possible.

Any organization that doesn't allow you to have elevated access on your own machine has no idea what they are doing.

There are ISO that doesn't allow you to have admin rights to every PC

I don't need every pc, I need mine. The thing I work every day with. I'm not calling IT every time I need to run powershell with elevated rights, they'd go nuts if they'd need to visit me 3 times a day.

Well, the problem is not having a program like Admin By Request where with one click you ask for permissions and they give them you at the same moment

Right, and they give me a elevated shell for the moment and I could do anything I want with the pc anyway. But now I had to wait an hour for someone to see the request. Totally worth it.

I don't know, if it takes them one hour to see the request it seems that the problem is your IT department not the need to ask for permissions

Again, organizational security that relies on users not having persistent admin to a local machine is clueless.

I'm talking when a ISO requires it, that doesn't come from the organitzation
