dont be this kid

  Yeah but only because you shouldn't call it dumb in a company wide meeting just after you join. It is dumb, and thankfully I've never worked anywhere that denied admin access to engineers. Fine for HR or whatever.

    Actually there is special admin account, but you have to enter credentials manually. He wanted 100% admin account all the time.

      In a really good org, Engineers THINK they have admin. lol.
  • spacecadet 3y ago
    OK before you black and white nerds lose your minds, in some settings, like a startup, engineers are admins... but in general: Engineers should definitely not have "admin" access. They should have least privs for the systems and services they need access to... Dont be this either. It will end badly when you, in a stressed late night stupor, blow up your "admin" access... be smart- you honestly want least privs for your own protection!

      If you truly understand this concept, then you know. When configured correctly, its damn near "admin"... but not "god clearance"...

      We're talking about admin access to your own machine. Local admin. Not root access to servers. I can't say I have ever "blown up my admin access", whatever that means. Especially not late at night because I am in bed. And even if I did, so what? I have backups. Just means I lose half a day restoring my laptop.

    Sounds like there are multiple reasons to not be this kid.
