This sounds more like a problem with people sharing passwords which really
should be a policy issue. Violation of that could be written into your
policy. O/wise see this;

Subject: preventing run-as option

hello all!!!

In my company we have domain based environment...In our proxy access
permissions are given based on the name of the user and only few users
are given rights to view a set of sites like email sites...

For example employee A is given the permission and B does not have
that.What B does is that he runs Internet explorer using run-as option
and gives A's credentials...This way he is able to surf websites that
he is not given permission to.

Is there any option using which I can disable run-as option...


regards,
Vijay....
