6000 students, 900 staff. 12 schools and one administration building. There are 4 desktop technicians that have several buildings assigned to them. They each also have districtwide responsibilities. For example one is in charge of our emergency radios, another is in charge of our makerspaces. Things like that. I handle all the Google and AD domains, email, and all the other server functions and security. One other guy handles all the network, viop, camera systems and so on.
Desktop techs each have their own local desktop admin account, it is a separate account from their regular account. They do not need DA. There are two DA accounts, one for me and one for the network guy. No one shares anything, ever. No one else has any administrative rights.

Are there examples out there for how work is divided? Do IT staff focus on specific areas or is everyone more of a generalist? We have moved to Chromebooks in a big way and find how we are presently organized- school based- really doesn't work anymore. Finally, who uses the Least Privilege Administrative model? If you do, is there one domain admin account shared for people who need admin rights or do each IT staff person have two accounts? Thanks for any ideas. Happy New Year!
