User account policy

A user account policy is a document which outlines the requirements for requesting and maintaining an account on computer systems or networks, typically within an organization. It is very important for large sites where users typically have accounts on many systems. Some sites have users read and sign an account policy as part of the account request process.

Policy content

Example

Some example wording: “Employees shall only request/receive accounts on systems they have a true business need to access. Employees may only have one official account per system and the account ID and login name must follow the established standards. Employees must read and sign the acceptable use policy prior to requesting an account.”
