@magicMirror, I'm partially an admin. But I can't touch stuff added by the "higher admin", to give them a name. Antivirus, email client and VPN software included. I only can use it.

@Eariel That is... strange. Root is pretty much Root all the way.
Write an email detailing the time it took you to figure this out + estimated costs to your boss. Explain that this problem will happen in the future, and will cost the same delays/costs. if they are ok with this, you have a reason to not do anything for one week every month. If they are not Ok, then you get admin on your machine. -
@magicMirror, it's because I'm an outsourced near-shore dev/contractor using their lent Mac. I guess they want to keep the chance to block me out as soon as the contract is done 😃

@Eariel oh gawd.
Yup - that sounds about right, they give you subpar computer, and expect above avg results.... bastards. -
@magicMirror, the computer is cool. But I just have limited access to stuff.
10 points for next century option.
Windows things. Someone's antivirus had been expired.
Let's create an Antivirus
Frigging corporate antivirus updated its definitions and decided a class generated by Gradle on my debug builds is an infection risk. And as it's an intermediate output and it's deleted and recreated every time, it sends a new alert every time. And sometimes it can't quarantine it because it's deleted faster than it's processed by the antivirus, so it's getting a higher and higher risk level each time. And I can't add it to the exclusion list because of a permissions issue. Oh well...
