Who are you?
When you log on you identify who you are.
In a
Windows network, you announce that you are one of the people in a
trusted
user group.
What Can You Do?
What
can you do on this machine?
One way to
reduce support costs is to limit what users can do and access. An ill-behaved game can
make a computer workstation useless.
What can you do on the network?
Here, you
have to start asking questions about your business policy.
Who gets permissions to do what? Does everyone have the right to
use the Accounting software, or only a few?
Do you apply restrictions to a user group, or
to
each user? What are the levels of security and trust?
