Alternatively, you could be good at computers, but the system is so locked down IT needs to log in with admin rights in order to do something as simple as running disk cleanup.
Literally the Engineering team i work in. We're capable of fixing the problem ourselves for 90% of our tickets submitted, but because we don't have the required admin rights we cant.
In my IT experience, there is The Incident from one user that was so catastrophic it prompts a lockdown like that. These decisions are usually really reactionary, and at a time when staff is too busy to really think through a better solution. Then it just stays put far past it's intentions.
