We open guest accounts for interns and external resources, how much should they be restricted, what about permissions?

we called intern accouunts guest accounts... gave them very restricted access. cancelled the account when their time was up

Guest account permissions: - Project folder: Yes - Accounting: No - HR: No - Internet: Restricted - Printer: Test only

Control file access using User Groups on Windows/Linux. Configure the Guest group.

I'd appreciate it if you shared the outcome. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Security isn't absolute; it's about making attacks not worth the effort.

Thanks for posting.

You're right. If permission and scope aren't in writing, don't start that test.

When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.

Great work. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

I felt relieved reading this answer so it's not just me. I mean if you scold false alarms, nobody will report again.

People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there. anyway this is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Correct.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for.

We need to make a distinction here. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Correct me if Im wrong.

We've heard this a lot, but it never happened like that for us. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Just leaving this note it might be useful.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.

Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later. Proven by experience.

It's rare to find an explanation this clear.

I'm in the same situation, that's why I'm asking. Taking measures without an inventory leaves doors you haven't seen open.

The cheap-looking path usually ends up costing more later. btw solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

If you post the result here it will help others too.
