Ah, this is a classic permissions question. I've seen these before, so I'm confident I can figure out the right answer here.

I'm leaning towards option C - submitting this through the Perform Integrated Change Control process. That way, we can get the proper approvals and ensure we're not setting a precedent for future changes.
