Physical security is obviously an important factor in any security plan.
The situation is that the admin password will be set, documented and locked
in a safe. Management functions will be allocated to different user
account. Normal IT management staff will not have knowledge of the admin
password. What they want to avoid is some disgruntled user simply resetting
the password change things and then leave the organisation.
Mine is not to question why ... ;-)
