And that, unfortunately, is the biggest problem with IT policy. It is deceptively easy to give permission for an application for one or two people, but once you start trying to take anything away you have a total shit-storm on your hands. This is the primary reason IT policy tends towards white-listing (you can only use the applications/sites wee say you can) rather than blacklisting (you can use any apps/sites, except...). IT already takes a lot of crap from the users, adding in the complaints from users who have been told "No, you can't use the app you've relied on for years" is generally a bad idea.
