Administrative privileges (JLU-SU)

Personal computers which have been ordered from the IT service center will be delivered with a preinstalled administrative account (JLU-SU). For IT security reasons, it is important that this account is not used for regular operation. After receiving your new PC, you set up your own user account which should have no administrative privileges. If you need help with that, feel free to contact us.

If Windows requires administrative privileges for certain tasks (e.g., for installing software), you will be prompted to authenticate this action with the credentials for the JLU-SU account. This ensures that you do not have to be logged in as an administrator permanently, and that this cannot be exploited by malware. Please note our advice on passwords, password managers and Windows Hello.
