Admin By Request User Guide
Beginning April 2022, TTSD will implement a new security setting on TTSD laptops and computers. Users will need to request admin permission through the AdminByRequest application that you will find on the Dock (Mac) or the toolbar (PC). Requesting the admin permission will elevate your account to a temporary member of the local administrator's group for a limited period of time under full audit.
Why is This Needed?
Most cyber security scams are successful because when scammers reach the computer, they have FULL admin rights to run any malicious program they want.
In order to protect the district from cyber crime, TTSD's cybersecurity insurance policy requires that our computer users not have administrator access.
