[LINK] No more human sysadmins??

[Bernard Robertson-Dunn]

Sysadmins can only get at data that is viewable with "common" programs 
e.g. data in files with .txt .docx .wri type extensions.

If the data are held in an application and can only be accessed via that 
application, then sysdamins can't get at the data - they need 
application level access.

It is quite possible and relatively easy to arrange access such that 
sysadmins can't see or copy data and people who can see and change data 
can't do things to the system.

It's not rocket surgery - all it takes is an understanding of how these 
things work and proper decision  making.

Oh! There's the problem. Too many non-IT literate managers pushing 
deadlines and keeping costs down.
