As an admin, and finally, a manager of System Engineers, I have almost
always been involved in setting, writing and/or changing policy. That is,
IMHO, part of every admins job. By that I mean, I believe it is the job of
every admin not only to find smart solutions that support company policies,
but to improve them and be able to "pitch" them to management and win their
case.
