Good day.
In the search results, mainly about the responsibility of installing "pirated" software on the institution's PC with the knowledge (hands) of the system administrator. I have a slightly different question. The management of our institution and I, as a system administrator, monitor the legality of using the software in our institution. A standard set of software is purchased for all PCs (MS Windows Pro (for connecting to a domain), MS Office, Anti-Virus). Free software is also installed (GIMP, Inkscape, etc.). Through group policies, the launch and installation of any other software is prohibited.
Recently, it was necessary to purchase and put on balance several laptops for employees who will almost always be outside our institution (even outside the city / region). These laptops also purchased a standard set of software. Due to the fact that the employee will be away, I cannot set a ban on the launch of uninstalled software, because I don’t know what exactly this employee may need at a particular point in time (driver, utility for managing something). In this regard, he himself (friend, brother, sister, employee of the inspection body) can put anything on this laptop (delete persons. Software and put the "necessary").
Is it possible to draw up any agreement / act / contract / otherwise in which this employee is notified (signs) that he received a laptop with a "list of software", that the use / installation of third-party software is allowed (for objective reasons), that he is notified of responsibility for installation of "pirated" software (I am silent about films and music) and are you ready to be punished if such is detected by the inspection authorities? Will such a paper have legal force in the event of an emergency?
Thanks in advance.

How can a system administrator relieve himself of responsibility for software installed by users?

If everything is installed, maybe just let it work under the user?
