Hi R'Shmuel AMV"SH,
You said: "...Auditors don't like multiple user ids..."
It's not the first time auditors have had illogical ideas.

OTOH, 2 or more people sharing a Userid is BAD.

Regards,
David

Some of the UK banks use your D.O.B as an account number - such as
601225JC12 !  which exposes sensitive information.

At one point some of us had two userids. SYSPROG1  ... for sysprog stuff,
and a personal ID.
When anyone moved on they just reallocated SYSPROG1 to a new user, and all
the accesses continued to work.
If you use a personal ID, you had to connect it to a lot of groups to get
the access, and remove the retiree from the same groups.
Role based userids are much better and less work

Many years ago someone reported here that in Canada it was illegal to
use an employee# as a UID because it's considered privileged HR
information.
I'd guess the same applies to user IDs.

I would like to know the explanation of such statement. IMHO employee#
is as internal as userid.
It is NOT SSN or other government number.
