This sometimes causes issues in classrooms, but nothing so critical that we have looked into some sort of exception process. When we first implemented it (10+ years ago) it rubbed people the wrong way but more or less everyone is used to it now. mandi From: The EDUCAUSE Security Community Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>> On Behalf Of Ronald Loneker Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 6:44 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> Subject: [SECURITY] Locking Computer Policy Hi Everyone - We looking to set up a group policy to push out to some of our end users to automatically lock a computer after a certain period of inactivity - especially in departments that have elevated privileges or access to sensitive data. We are noticing some people not following procedure on this, and we want to take action. What best practices are you using at your institution in terms of the amount of time before a computer locks automatically during inactivity? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
