IT Network Security?

[Sir Dot Net]

So does having multiple user accounts with different levels of priveledges increase security of a enterprise network somehow? To me it seems like a huge mess since each user has to remember multiple account details. Anyone have thoughts?

I single user with membership to all the groups based on the rights seem logical. Just the same way as we have in SQL server.

It really depends on the situation. Does the owner of the account work for multiple units within the organization, How many users are you talking about, 10, 1000, 100000? Most users that are in a single department are assigned a single signin and are given the priveleges for all of the various things they need access to. However this is not alwyas possible as automatically syncing passwords across differing platforms can can headaches so sometimes its easier to assign a different usernames for different things.
