I get prompted for Administrators credentials when trying to perform a task

Sometimes when you try and do a particular task on your machine (most likely a software installation) your machine will ask you for administrative credentials. By default, users are no longer administrators of machines on SCCM templated machines; however, we understand the need will arise when you will need elevated access. We added a program called Make Me Admin on all SCCM templated machines that allow users to elevate their permissions for 10 minutes at a time. This will allow you to install software and/or perform administrative tasks. To access this, navigate to your start menu (the windows icon in the bottom left corner of your screen) and look for Make Me Admin. Once it loads it will give you the ability to grant yourself administrative rights. If you have to do this on a consistent basis, please engage with IT and we can discuss possible remedies.
