Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Define the owner, administrator and recovery responsibility for each service account. The business should be able to maintain access when a supplier or employee changes. Review recovery addresses, account contacts and available recovery methods without publishing credentials in a shared project document.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a collaborator originally registered the domain. Before launch, the team checks who is recorded as the owner and who receives renewal messages. It prepares any necessary authorized ownership adjustment and verifies that a company-appointed person can recover access through an appropriate business-controlled channel.
Acceptance check
Record unavoidable shared accounts and prefer identifiable individual access where supported. Check that one person's departure would not remove the only recovery route. Accept the arrangement when ownership and day-to-day administration are clearly distinguished and the accountable person has verified the recovery procedure.
Key takeaways
- Accept the arrangement when ownership and day-to-day administration are clearly distinguished and the accountable person has verified the recovery procedure.
