This is an issue for governance such as under SOX, Basel II and a number of other areas. It is an operational risk issue that has to be considered.
The rule for operational risk is to identify the probability of something happening, what could be the cost/damage if it occurs and what is the cost of solving it. Whilst the likelihood is low, the potential to delete major files or commit fraud could be high; however the solution may not be too expensive. It is positive that people have identified a potential and the list has identified solutions, as this makes U2 not look micky mouse to auditors when these questions are broached.

Ian. If your users are good enough to hack together an application out of notepad, excel and uniobjects, then you've hired the wrong guy for that sales / counter job. Move him/her into the development group. Be carefull of over protecting your systems to the point they become more trouble to use than they are worth. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
