I have limited access to a domain. Is it possible to do this?

I used PDQ Inventory at my previous job and am now working for a new place. Their Active Directory is spanned across all facilities with permissions granted to IT staff based on an OU for that facility but no access to anything outside of that. Is it possible to input in the domain credentials and specific OU path on the domain to get access to the machines at my facility or do I need admin access to the entire domain? Thanks

1. Add the credentials for each domain to Options --> Credentials.
2. Go to Options --> Preferences --> Active Directory.
3. Click Include Container --> Change Domain --> Add Domain.
4. Uncheck "Current User", then select the correct user for the domain you're adding.
5. Click OK, then choose your desired OU.
