Okay, yes: I let other people use my laptop. But the point I was
trying to make was that I think of the laptop as a way to access
online services. Those services are provided by remote shared
computers systems. The idea that someone would run a service which
was important, or store important information, on a computer sitting
on their desk, seems foolish.

Regardless of if it is a company, or a government agency, providing a
service, they have to provide much the same thing in much the same
way. If you set up a system for recruiting in an agency, then you
will need to authorize users to particular functions in the system.
Not all the people you authorize will be employees of that agency,
nor will they be located on the agency premises, nor will they be
authorized to look at all the data. Once you have set up the system
to cope with all that, it is a small extra step to be able to
authorize people from other agencies to do their own recruiting on the system.
