I have tried to search around here (and Google) for the answer but failed. And I really need this answer if possible, please.
I know that as an Administrator of a small network myself, I can log into another user’s account and find out exactly what they have been doing on the company computer. What I don’t quite know is this – how ETHICAL/LEGAL is it?
Personally I would not do it as there was no reason to, no hint of wrong doing etc. But I was told another Administrator was asked to do this to the other Administrator, and of course didn’t like having to do it.
Should they have done it, or should the manager have asked them to do it? I am in Australia so I am not sure if the law would be different here.
The manager is not an IT person, and may not know the ethical issues involved. And as I am still studying, I am unsure either. So I thought I would come to this great place and ask what you think.
I would appreciate an answer very much. Thank you!
