Me and the IT admin in my previous job had this understanding, as I dealt with field hardware, and he dealt with the “normal” IT stuff.
Once a merger caused the corporate requirement of only allowing whitelisted apps to run, my laptop was simply disappeared from the requirement list. It made it easier for the both of us. I could be on the other side of the world in sudden need of running some proprietary BS software that had to be whitelisted, and nobody wanted me to have to wake someone up to whitelist stuff.
When you deal with network hardware that cost more than most PCs, and the server clusters cost more than a house, some leeway should be allowed.
