Please do the following to be able to use your new account in accordance with UT and Cockrell School policy:
If notepad opens, your admin account is working correctly (just close notepad). If not, please contact ITG and reference this page and step 6.
If an application installer does not ask for an admin account and instead fails with an error about insufficient rights, you don't have to login as an admin, just use step 6 above on the installer
Please note that the Cockrell School of Engineering has special security policies in place that restrict which folders an application can be run from. Please see the following wiki to ensure you are installing an application in an appropriate folder - Blocked Application (AppLocker) |
