  2. <b>Sharing supervisor account</b>.

  4. <p>
  5. If you prepare to
  6. !href cmd=help&special_parm=neighbor share
  7.  the supervisor account with other classes, please be aware that the
  8. security risks are also shared.

  10. If all the classes belong to the same teacher (you), sharing supervisor
  11. account represents the advantage that to change your supervisor password,
  12. you have only to change it once (in any of the sharing class). This allows
  13. you to change password more frequently, making your classes more secure.
  14. You should however be aware that multiple classes with the same supervisor
  15. password multiplies the security risk by the number of classes. An
  16. intrusion to one of the classes can bring damage to all the sharing classes,
  17. a situation that has already occured in a teaching environment.

  19. On the other hand, if the classes belong to different physical teachers,
  20. sharing supervisor account (of course putting a common password neither) is
  21. not recommended. Just think of the case where one teacher changes the
  22. password by one reason or the other, without correctly notifying the others.
