Guidelines for use of IT resources |

ExamplesAcceptable behavior: A visiting relative is curious about Princeton's on-line services and Internet access. You demonstrate some of the facilities, and even let the visitor do some "hands-on" work, for example specifying some search terms for a World Wide Web search. You may also let the visitor check his or her own e-mail. But you are careful to retain control; you do not allow the visitor free rein, and may not allow the visitor to generate e-mail that will show a Princeton.EDU domain return address. Acceptable behavior: A supervisor explains that others in the department may need to continue work on a particular document during your planned absence, and, if no alternate practical means of ready access are available, asks that you provide the account password for access to the document. You do so. Acceptable behavior: A group of visiting scholars has arranged through Conference and Visitors Center to have University network access and NetIDs during their stay on campus. Violation: You have a departmental computer account that provides access to certain shared files, to Princeton's general campus resources, to the Internet and World Wide Web. You do not use that account, and give the account and password to the director of a local community service agency, who uses it. Violation: You have registered your computer for the campus network. You are running a system that lets you set up e-mail accounts for other people. You want to offer free access to the computer to people around the world with an interest in a specific public issue of great importance, and also give them e-mail accounts on your machine. (You can allow them access to information you have on your machine, provided it is not copyrighted by someone else, but it is a violation to extend to them e-mail accounts or access to other resources within the princeton.edu domain.) Violation: Without University authorization, you use your campus-connected personal computer to host a web site, register a domain, or operate a mail-exchange server for a charitable or educational organization. (Hosting commercial sites or domains is expressly forbidden.) Violation: You have discovered a new kind of peer-to-peer file-sharing software, and install it in space allocated to you on a shared central or departmental server. (To do so without violation, you would need permission from the unit responsible for the server—which is unlikely to be given.) Violation: You expose your computer to misuse by leaving it unattended (or otherwise unprotected) in a common area of your dorm room for an extended period of time. Previous Section  |
