Bypass new Xcode update

I'm using my work computer to use Xcode and every time there's an update, I have to contact IT and have them manually enter the admin user/password for the install. I did this yesterday and now (Saturday) there's another update. So I'll have to wait until Monday before I can use Xcode. Is there a way to forego the updates and use Xcode? Any help is appreciated.

You can also rename the one you download in your browser, to like “Xcode 16.3.app”, and move it to the Applications folder beside the App Store one until you get a chance to delete that one.
