OTS is pleased to announce a new 24/7 self-service Temporary Workstation Access Tool for faculty and staff. This tool allows you to grant yourself administrative rights to your on-campus Windows computer so that you can install hardware or software, update drivers, or troubleshoot issues, without having to call the Faculty/Staff Help Center for temporary rights. The tool allows you to gain administrative access to your computer whenever you need it, without exposing you to security vulnerabilities created by having permanent administrative rights in effect.
The tool can be accessed by visiting http://www.towson.edu/TempWorkstationAccess.
OTS Training has created a self-help document and accompanying video for this tool. Please visit http://www.towson.edu/adminfinance/ots/Training/documentation/AdminRights/Temp_Admin_Tool_Public.pdf for illustrated instructions on using this tool, or visit http://youtu.be/gFAfRSSBjyQ to view an instructional video.
