See the document Selecting a Good Password for suggestions on safeguarding your computer account. Your password to a personal account is to be known only to you. Never share your password with someone else. In order to provide individual accountability, personal accounts are used. Where there is a need to share access to information, either a group account is implemented or different accounts are given common access to the shared data.
Unauthorized access is a violation of law.
All actual or suspected violations of security and risk management policies are to be reported to the MSC Computer Operations manager. This person will immediately determine and implement procedures necessary to verify alleged violations and to minimize further risk. A procedure has been developed to ensure appropriate confidential handling of all cases without jeopardizing the rights or reputation of anyone suspected in error. If a report cannot be verified, MSC Computer Operations will determine the potential risk and may require additional procedures to be implemented such as having an authorized user change their password or having an administrator implement additional security monitoring controls. By state law all personnel are required to provide written acknowledgment that they have received, read and understand the security policies and procedures.
