Elevated User Rights (EUR)

• Applying for Elevated User Rights access
• Using the Windows 7 EUR tool
• Technical details for Windows 7 EUR tool

You may apply to have Elevated User Rights (EUR) – also known as admin rights – on your PC if you have a work-related need to install software.

Before being granted access you must agree to the following:

• By using EUR you make your computer non-standard. While IT Services will make every effort to assist, we can only provide limited help in fixing PCs which have unknown and unsupported software or system configuration changes. If your PC breaks, the only way to fix it may be to wipe it and return it to a standard configuration. You will be responsible for re-installing everything else.
• Do not use Elevated User Rights to update or modify automatically installed software. This may break future security updates.
• Always keep a copy of any important data in a University network filestore (e.g. MyFiles or the Research Data Storage Facility).
• You should only install software if you have an appropriate license and the software is required for your work.
• IT Services still needs access to your computer. Do not install security software, remove administrative rights or change passwords that relate to our access.
• Do not remove your computer from the UOB “Domain”.
• Please do not change your computer's network settings while connected to the UOB network.

Your application may need to be approved by your supervisor. Further details can be found in the Elevated User Rights Policy (PDF).
