- theamk 2y agoMy sample of 3 shows the Macs in big corp has some way to temporary get sudo. Some sort of proprietary app you run that grants you permissions for a period of time. Sometimes there is a text field for "reason", but no one ever reads it.
- dacryn 2y agoA work managed mac without a sort of helpdesk that can help you fix an update issue of approved software is equally unserious. I have never had sudo on a work managed device, but always had a phone number to call for exactly these types of issues. Explain the problem, point them to the fix. They look it up internally, call me back half an hour later, take over the machine and perform the procedure. Is it frictionless? No. Is it impossible? No, just part of dealing with corporate IT.
