Some of the UK banks use your D.O.B as an account number - such as 601225JC12 ! which exposes sensitive information.
At one point some of us had two userids. SYSPROG1 ... for sysprog stuff, and a personal ID. When anyone moved on they just reallocated SYSPROG1 to a new user, and all the accesses continued to work. If you use a personal ID, you had to connect it to a lot of groups to get the access, and remove the retiree from the same groups. Role based userids are much better and less work Colin On Fri, 14 Jul 2023 at 10:39, Radoslaw Skorupka < 00000471ebeac275-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > W dniu 14.07.2023 o 02:32, Paul Gilmartin pisze: > > On Thu, 13 Jul 2023 20:17:38 -0400, Matt Hogstrom wrote: > > > >> A place I worked used initials followed by a 5 digit employee ID. > xxnnnnn > >> > > Many years ago someone reported here that in Canada it was illegal to > > use an employee# as a UID because it's considered privileged HR > information. > > I'd guess the same applies to user IDs. > > > I would like to know the explanation of such statement.
