At a previous company, as newly hired vp of marketing. After consecutive requests for additional accesses to the company intranet, one of the IT admins got tired of the one-off requests and just gave me access to everything. I could view/download EVERYTHING. Has anyone else seen anything along these lines?

If you meant that the way you said it, ok, but I've been places where "managing" was thought to mean "deciding who gets access to". I just want to take issue with that misunderstanding, which I realize may not be what you meant. The security admins do indeed "manage" access to the data, but they do it (or ought to do it) at the direction of the data owners. In theory the CEO owns all the data, but of course he doesn't bother with that; in practice it's delegated downward until it reaches a knowledgeable user. So the GL manager owns the GL data, or delegates it to one of his staff who knows what datasets are out there. The HR files and production processes are owned by someone in HR, and so on. I envision it like the old feudalism, with each manager holding ownership of the data and processes entrusted to him from above and parceling out portions of it to underlings who will hold it in fief, until the downward delegation reaches the person who knows what needs to be done. The security admins should (but often don't) have a record of who's been named the owner of each set of data, and that's the person who should (repeat should) approve requests for access. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* -attributed to Alexander Pope: Be not the first by whom the new is tried Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Tony Perri Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2022 13:06 I'm doing a presentation at a conference next month about who controls "money making" data in large enterprises (large enough for z/OS). The general idea is that CxOs on the business side in the past 5-10 years see data as a money maker and are letting CMOs have more access to data (think CRM and marketing automation systems) so they can make money from it. My question here is this: --Have you (or a colleague) experienced firsthand any occurrence where the CEO, COO or other business-side exec said "we want to let so-and-so and his or her team take over this data store. Give them whatever they need."? The implication was that sales/marketing folks are going to put the data to better use to make more money for the organization. The caveat here is the data security risk of letting sales and marketing people manage data versus IT teams managing it.
