So I have a strange question. The way our shop is setup, we have one user for each department that has one password that multiple people use. Most of the time they log in to this user in the AM on every PC and it stays logged in all week. The problem I am running into is that people feel like they need to mess around with settings in some of our software. This problems has caused us to lose parts due to misconfiguration within the programs. Now, I KNOW that these settings are not changing themselves but no one is going to fess up to making a part crash in a machine, as this means they will probably get in trouble. People (One of the owners) does not like the idea of each user having their own log in information. He doesn't like this because it takes too long for each user to log off and log back in again.
I don't like this setup because I have NO IDEA who is messing with the settings. I get calls from our engineering crew that things are not right on XXX machine. I then have to go reconfigure the machine. Is there any way around this? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want this to come back and be my fault as IT things usually are.
I am not opposed to keeping one log in but I need to find a way to track who is sitting on the computers and messing with stuff.
Thanks for any input!
