My New Job

So I started a consulting position in Feb. Left a Full Time role for it because it pays more and I would be exposed to a lot more stuff all around. It's been a month and I still don't have admin rights to do my job properly. Role is 100% Remote Support. Users call in and I cannot even unlock/extend accounts, remote in, or even install/uninstall software. Manager is aware of the situation but really isn't doing anything. I have to depend on other coworkers and I get frustrated doing this. They get too busy to do favors for me at times. I already started shooting out resumes. What's your take on this?

But you get left holding the bag because you're contract. I'd say work both sides at the same time. Remind your boss you can't do the job you're being paid to do and follow up on the resumes. Ideally, if you need to leave, you'd want to start the new job in March so you don't even need to include the bad job on your resume to fill in the gap.
+1 I agree with Pmorgan2
This happened to me once. I needed rights to troubleshoot network issues. My boss knew about it ,but he never gave me the rights. When I was troubleshooting, I would always ask the one of the network guys what he saw on his end, and finally one day( after 1 - 3 months) he put in a request to get me rights.
It could be a few things...
So it could be your boss cannot give you the rights to that system.
Another thing could be that they're testing you out before giving you full admin rights.
I would stay put as long as you're not getting any complainants.
