I had decided to move my tool to a real server. The only problem was I had no idea where to begin.
My tools all ran on spreadsheets back then. They worked, but one of them — a search tool I built to find supplies in our hospital storeroom — had gotten painfully slow. So I asked Gemini how to put it on our office NAS instead. (A NAS is just a storage box that sits in the building and serves files to everyone on the network.)
The answer was a long list. Settings to configure, things to move, permissions to set. And to do any of it, I needed the admin account.
I had never even seen that account. I worked in a therapy room. Admin access to the machine the whole hospital relied on was about as far from my world as it could get.
There was only one way forward. Go ask for it.
