[thelist] Intranet and permissions

[Luther, Ron]

FayeC asked:


>>Yeah but wouldn't that be amazingly stupid of an employee?

<shrug /> ... Yeah, so?  It happens anyway.  Moreover, in today's litigious society you may actually end up liable for allowing it to happen in the first place.



>>Would there be any bigger security issues from outer sources at all?

Well, as one scenario, some companies might not want a short term contractor to have unlimited access to their personnel and payroll files or shares.

As a second scenario, some companies may be more SOX compliant than others and set up more role-based permissions to share drives (as well as db partitions).


HTH,
