Local admin or standard user? Often a contentious decision to make for an organisation, but sometimes the justification for both sides can be driven by misconceptions or ideas based on how other platforms behave. Let’s look at the pros and cons of both sides of the argument and how to ensure that whatever you end up deciding is the right approach for your users. Along the way, we will look at some of the tools that you can use to ensure your objectives are met, whether you choose admin, standard, or somewhere in between!
