User Responsibilities University systems and data are for use only by the individual granted access. Access must not be shared, since shared use often leads to abuse. User accounts must be protected with passwords. Login scripts must not include scripted passwords. Users must be sure that critical data on their personal computers are backed up and stored remotely.
Computer viruses can waste time and can destroy data.
The user must be sure that the most current anti-virus software is running on his or her computer. When a computer is left signed on, it is easy for someone to gain unauthorized access. Note, however, that many access control packages and screen savers can be easily bypassed. Users must abide by the terms of all software licenses. Data Steward Responsibilities Data Stewards are responsible for defining the security and integrity requirements of their respective categories of data.
