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?

Memo to self: If you log onto a Windows Server at work, you may be managed by Group Policies. Group Policies can restrict users to a handful of work applications such as Word, Excel, and the company's Access database.
