You may want to speak with him about compartmentalizing areas of "like 
security". You can then create a classification system like so:

Class A
Email
Webmail
Normal Web Apps

Class B
HR/ERP
Finance

Then create a Class A and a Class B account for each user. That's very 
reasonable and gives you some more guidance. 

He may be more open to this than saying "I heard it was a bad idea to create 
separate accounts."

supervisor wants. =(

His reason is supposed to be "security".
