  1. Computer Administrators Must Complete Training

NASA is implementing managed elevated privileges (MEP) on all IT devices to reduce the security risks. Everyone who needs elevated privileges must take training courses via SATERN by searching for "Elevated Privileges on NASA Information Systems" (ITS-002-09).

Deployment of these new policies will happen in various stages, and your organizations will be notified in advance before they are scheduled for deployment. Once implemented, NASA end users will not be granted administrative rights to NASA IT resources without training and authorization. September 2013 is the start date for JSC implementation on ACES systems for this new Agency policy. Please take appropriate actions to be sure you get your training and testing done before we start to deploy.

Additional information can be found here.
