Desktop Support Access

["Thomas Graf" <tgraf () swmail sw org>]

Hello everyone, 
Thanks for all the information last time I submitted an email.   A new
situation has risen in my organization.  The desktop support is
requesting access to (Cisco) routers and switches to enable/disable
ports.  Their reason is that they can't get a hold of some the network
team to do this for them.  This will limit their time working at the
desktop by not having to hunt down a network team member.  I know that
they are going to get it and it is a big risk,  but is there any way to
limit there access to just enabling/disabling ports?  

Thanks for all the help.
