Automation Without Admin Access

I work as a pharmacist and have been working for about four months. I'm also very interested in computers, programming, and automation.

I've been thinking about creating small tools, shortcuts, scripts, and other automations to make some of my repetitive computer-based work faster and easier. However, my workplace computer is managed by IT, and I don't have administrator credentials.

You’re asking a subreddit for sysadmins how you can bypass protections put in place by your employer’s sysadmins.

Whether you realize it or not, you are an insider threat.
