Description
There are typically several individuals and groups involved in running a production web site. In most cases, several types of users on a web server can be identified such as SA's, Web Managers, Auditors, Authors, Developers, and the Clients. Nonetheless, only necessary user and administrative accounts will be allowed on the web server. Accounts will be restricted to those who are necessary to maintain web services, review the server’s operation and the OS. Owing to the sensitivity of web servers, a detailed record of these accounts must be maintained.
