Important things to note
Most workflows on a Windows computer do not require administrator privileges. Only grant access if necessary.
On shared-use computers, Administrator privileges are automatically granted to the first user to sign into a newly deployed computerin. This user is also listed as the primary user of the computer.
Administrator privileges are revoked after erasing a device and will need to be granted again by the new primary user.
Administrator privileges can only be delegated to an individual user who has an active UConn email. Shared/kiosk/generic accounts are not supported on university computers.
