Responsibilities of Users of Computer Facilities

Before you are granted access to centrally managed computer systems operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), you must read and accept the following responsibilities:

  1. My password for access to ORNL unclassified computing resources is to be protected at the highest sensitivity of information to which it allows access or at a minimum, it is to be protected as “Official Use Only.” I will not share my password with anyone or allow anyone to use my password to access computing resources. If I write my password down, I will protect the paper by properly securing it. If I suspect that my password has been compromised, I will initiate the appropriate steps to have a replacement password generated.

  2. I will protect all information under my control or to which I am granted access. Information in my custody is a valuable company asset which should be protected according to its highest level of sensitivity regardless of its form (e.g., CRT, magnetic media, hardcopy, or printer ribbon).

  3. I will use the computing resources, both internal systems and networks, and external network connections, for official business in support of my assigned duties. I will not use the computing resources in a manner which would constitute waste or fraud (such as playing games, downloading sexually explicit materials, sending personal e-mail, etc.) toward the Department of Energy, ORNL, or any other government or commercial organization. I will not abuse the computing resources, nor will I use the resources to support any personal business or activities.

  4. I will use only property authorized and/or licensed software on computing resources to which I have access. I will not create or modify any software for the purpose of disrupting operations, circumventing security controls, or destroying or modifying data or programs without authorization. Also, I will not create or modify any software to provide unauthorized access to computing resources or to gain access to privileges, programs, data, passwords, or resources for which I am not authorized.
