Using Privilege Manager to Elevate Rights

Overview

Employees who have been approved for elevated administrative rights on specific computers are able to use their CCBC account to run tasks and applications with Administrative Rights.  This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to run the task or application using the elevated CCBC account.

Users who need Administrative rights to run specific tasks on multiple computers can submit a request for continuous administrative access for their account.  That process and request form can be found under the Related Services section on this page.
