Target: TECH: AT EASE ON NETWORK

[Jane Perry <perocon@MINT.NET>]

LM_Netters,
I started a new position this fall and seem to have hit a snag recently.
Would appreciate your advice. Our Jr. High has a separate computer lab which
is networked throughout the building. This past summer the tech person did
extensive rewiring and so everyone's connection was down at the beginning of
the year. He is slowly getting everyone back on. Yesterday after he had
installed the AT EASE setup and configured the library computers (2 Macs)
for Internet access, I discovered that I could not access my hard drive. I
was having trouble with a CD and tried to reinstall it, when I got the
message telling me I did not have access privileges. When I questioned our
tech person about this, he said that it was the policy to limit the staff's
access in this way. I was astounded! Is this typical? Am I missing something
about the considerations necessary to run everything on a network? If you
people tell me that this is indeed common practice then I will back off, but
it seems to me that he is making this situation unnecessarily complicated. I
can't install new software without getting him first!! Thanks for any
help/advice you can offer.
