Question:

A user has joined your company as a network administrator with the account name AOShea. How should AOShea be granted the necessary administrative privileges, per recommendation?

A Create an account called AdminAOShea. Add that account to the Administrators group. Have the new administrator use the AOShea account unless they need administrative rights, in which case they should use the AdminAOShea account.
explanation

Although adding AOShea to the Administrators group will undoubtedly work, it is not the recommended way. Members of the Administrators group can unintentionally cause harm because of their immense authority. For example, they can inadvertently delete a file that a regular user could not. It is strongly advised against using an Administrators group account to log in for daily interaction. System administrators should instead utilize a user account, which has fewer privileges, and only switch to the Administrators group account, which has more privileges, when absolutely essential.
