Network Administration Tasks:

• Adding/removing users

• Assigning users to printers

• Giving users file access rights

• Installation of software and sharing with users

• Client installation and protocol assignment

• Network-based applications

• Logon and logoff procedures

  • Where a user enters a username and password to validate access. A user session is opened and the user can access resources they have rights to.

  • Log-off disconnects that user from network – important for security as an open network can be used by unauthorised users
