Permissions

The world of Microsoft computing is one of permissions. In order to do things on the computer or on the network you have to have the right permissions. Those that control the permissions, control the network.  They have the power. 

It is the same way at work. Those individuals with the power to grant permission to try out that new idea or grant permission to an amount of money hold the power.  

Permissions though are also clearly defined boundries. You can acess this folder, but you do not have permission to that folder. How often are we exploring the full potential of the area we do have permission to?

At work our network engineers restrict most workers from being able to download software. I often hear how frustrating this is because individuals cannot get this new something or other to try out. Yet these are the same people who have not taken the time to explore, understand, and use all the tools they do have available to them already.  They have not exhausted their current permissions. 

My challenge for you, exhaust your current permissions.  Then lets talk about more permissions.
