I can't believe a question like this was even asked by a person that works at a IT service type company.

Well, that's a pretty common question actually :-)

Not necessarily. Many times administrative people, unlike technicians, are assigned with installing and configuring RangerMSP as a professional services automation business tool, and therefore IT they don't have that IT related background.

I know we have admin staff that dont know networking, but we'd never have them setup or upgrade commit.

I just cant see telling the accounting staff to "go make sure commit is working properly" check for open ports & whatnot!
