Accounts for ECC staff on the machine may be provided as a courtesy, but this is not a requirement. The purpose of the account is primarily to aid UTCC in isolating problems such as a machine which is misbehaving on the network. Very Limited Administration ECC staff will install the OS and OS updates. Owner is responsible for all other software. Machine is not listed in any ECC NIS database.
Users accounts are at the discretion of the owner.
ECC may perform OS installations, though. ECC will give guidance regarding backups. These accounts are for network access and occasional printing. They are not to provide primary access to dedicated machines, for printing, for maintaining backups, or a second source of resources. Users provide their own hardware for backups.
