I’ve got a IT-technician role at a college that’s government funded. The city I work for wants to limit admin rights for our managed computers.

Previously we could be assigned permanent admin rights but IT-security has identified it to be a security risk so they will allow us either 4 or 24 hours admin rights to install software we might need. I and other technicians have raised concerns how it would affect our work.

I know it might be little information to draw any conclusions from but what potential issues do you think we would run into? And how would you approach and handle a situation like this if it would happen to you?
