Shares and groups and users, Oh My!
Sharing is good,
but not with just anybody.
When you have a network there are decisions to be made. When you are
deciding what gets shared with whom and just how much access they get,
you need to be fairly precise. Your bookkeeper and payroll clerk need
access to the books, but you don't want your other staff mucking about in
there, and does the receptionist
really
need to be able to access web page content? Throw in employee turn over,
client confidentiality issues, software licensing, and Internet access
with its attendant e-mail and it can get a little crazy.
These are all issues that can be resolved with a good network
administration plan. We can help you wade through the quagmire of rights
masking, share administration, application access restrictions, and
Internet and internal e-mail setup and maintenance. You'll have a solid
plan that can be administered internally (we'll explain how) or with our
help.
Here is a list of some of the
considerations to address:
- What level of access does your staff need?
- Are you sharing applications from the server?
To whom?
- Do you carry enough licenses for your user
base? Where do you keep them?
- What needs to be backed up? How often?
- Do you have an up to date disaster recovery
plan? Have you tested it?
- What sort of access does the outside world
have, intentionally or otherwise,
to your
data?
- Who, on your staff, would you consider competent
to manage your network? Pick two.
- How much time can you allow for network administration?
How will it impact the bottom line
good and
bad?
Answer these questions and you'll have a good start on a plan to administer
your network. If you need help,
give us a call.
