At the brisk of stating another obvious point, whats wrong with this 
summary of the situation?
 
1) the owner of the computer wants your program to be run on it.
2) an existing script must be changed for your program to run
3) the computer's sysadmins won't let anybody else change scripts
   on production systems. (a fairly common situation).

However this leaves the obvious outstanding question: why won't the 
sysadmins, i.e. 'the company', make the changes needed for your program 
to run?
