When an employee moves to a new position, their technology access should change with them. Keeping permissions from a previous role can leave employees with access to files, applications, and systems they no longer need.
When responsibilities change, remember to:
-Review current account permissions
-Remove access that's no longer necessary
-Add access required for the new role
-Update shared folders, applications, and security groups
-Confirm everything works after the transition
Updating access shouldn't only happen when someone joins or leaves the company. Keeping permissions aligned with each employee's current responsibilities helps protect sensitive information and keeps your systems organized.
New role. Right access. Less risk.
