And that's exactly why you should keep that separate. You mess up auditing by letting someone else use your personal userid. Even when you're on vacation, your colleague is not you (unless he's posting in your name on the list, paying bills out of your bank account, etc). Most corporate security regulations forbid such schemes for a good reason. I know it's easy for folks at the helpdesk to take control of an end-user account like this, but it is probably a good warning for the user to find that he's not able to use it himself during such period. If you keep roles in functional userid (even if under normal circumstances there is only one individual using it) then delegating tasks temporarily is easy. Rob
