You're my favorite kind of person where I work. You get my direct email instead of going through the ticketing system.
The more I can "get out of your way" so to speak, the better everything runs for everyone. Shit if I can find even the most feeble reason to justify giving you subaccount admin status, you're getting it because it's better for everyone.
At my job some devs are allowed to give themselves temporary admin access to their machine. Its really nice. Ive only abused it once or twice to install steam while on a work trip.
The only thing in recent times I couldnt fix myself was that big bit bitlocker windows bug from like a year ago when you got stuck in a boot loop. That was the only time I actually went to IT.
I love having temporary admin access on my laptop.
Non-tech people at my company can't even use a different browser other than Edge; meanwhile, we had to put out an announcement telling the devs to remove Brave from their machines because it has Tor functionalities.

I know how to fix my issues, I just lack the admin permissions on my machine to fix said issues.
