User rights are often a simple matter that can lead to devastating results when not administered properly. We often see clients that have given administrative access to too many employees, who then delete and/or move things that slow down or even crash a system. Here are some helpful tips to lessen your risk in terms of user rights:

• Limit administrative access. For example, only developers need access to install or re-install applications.
• Assign different levels of administrative rights based on the “needs” for each employee.
• When granting temporary access, be sure to remove the access once the need is fulfilled.
• Be diligent about removing access when employees leave the company or change positions.

Limiting and managing user rights makes IT much easier to manage while increasing the performance of your system by reducing the chances for users cause problems with your system.

Granting fewer rights also allows you to have better control over unauthorized use and access to your system.
