| Members of staff across the University have responsibility for servers, multiple computer systems, or for part of the network for example as a departmental IT administrator, computer technician or web administrator. Such Authorised System and Network Administrators (henceforth referred to as Administrators) need to perform actions as part of their daily work which may result in awareness of information held by other users in their files, or sent by users over communication networks. This charter sets out the actions of this kind which Administrators may expect to perform on a routine basis, and the responsibilities which they bear to protect information belonging to others. Administrators also perform other activities, such as disabling machines or their network connections, which have no privacy implications; these are outside the scope of this charter. |
