Request an exception to receive local administrator rights on a County-managed workstation.
Description and Details
By default, County workstations are configured to restrict local administrator access. This helps maintain security, ensure system integrity, and reduce risk.
Employees who require administrative privileges to perform essential job functions—such as installing software, configuring devices, or managing system settings—may request an exception. This request must include a clear business justification and details about what administrative actions are needed.
Local admin access, if approved, may be granted on a temporary or ongoing basis and may be limited to specific devices.
Who Can Submit This Request?
Any Gwinnett County employee with a valid business or technical justification.
Required Approvals
Fulfillment Time Frame
Within one business day following manager approval. Additional time may be required based on the scope of access and security review.
