My condolences. And as much as I hate Posit/Workbench, some of that is on your IT department. If I'm reading your comment correctly, you're having issues because it needs admin privileges to update some things, namely packages. That's honestly a very simple fix, they just need to grant your user NTFS write permissions to the Rstudio/Workbench install directory locally (and maybe some registry keys, but that's not definite). That's it. It's a 10-second permanent fix and no more UAC prompts for you.
You are 100% correct. Unfortunately, due to the nature of my business, my access to sensitive information, and the mind blowing incompetence of whoever wrote our IT security policies, they won't do so. My PC is locked down tight to keep sensitive data from wandering off... Except for how I can connect my phone (not a USB drive, those are blocked), transfer data to it, analyze it on my PC, and transfer the results back using my phone. That is actually the IT sanctioned workaround. It makes my brain hurt.
