I don't think he was talking about generic ID's....I think he was talking about a scenario along the lines of
John Doe, his ID is doej, works in the system for 6 months and then leaves the company....his ID is 'removed' from the environment....then 6 months later his brother Jack starts there...based on the corp standard, his ID would also be doej....and being John doesn't work there anymore....doej is now available.... -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jon Slaven Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 1:08 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: 7.6.04 - Question about re-using Login Id's ** Just from a managerial standpoint, this is an auditing nightmare. There's no benefit or cost savings from recycling generic user ID's, except maybe a couple minutes of setting up the account.

My concern is this = Login ID "User1" is used by an employee for 6 months. That employee leaves the company. Someone new gets hired, in a new support group, and our support center then reuses "User1" as a login id. Now if an auditor queries for all data modified by 'last update user' = "User1", they are going to get everything from both users who shared a login id, different data, different support groups, basically a mess - right? I seem to remember having the "don't re-use login id's" discussion in the past and the answer was "don't do that" - thoughts anyone?
