Part of my formation ( 1th seen in 90’s ) 4 SysAdmins
The basic purposes of such a code of ethics are:
· To provide a set of codified guidelines for ethical directions that system administrators must pursue
· To act as a reference for construction of local site acceptable-use policies
· To enhance professionalism by promoting ethical behavior
· To act as an “industry standard” reference of behavior in difficult situations, as well as in common ones
· To establish a baseline for addressing more complex issues
This code is not a set of enforceable laws, or procedures, or proposed responses to possible administrative situations. It is also not related to sanctions or punishments as consequences of any wrongdoing. A partial overview of one proposal for the code of ethics follows:
· Code 1: The integrity of a system administrator must be beyond reproach
· Code 2: A system administrator shall not unnecessarily infringe upon the rights of users
· Code 3: Communications of system administrators with all whom they may come in contact shall be kept to the highest standards of professional behavior.
· Code 4: The continuance of professional education is critical to maintaining currency as a system administrator
· Code 5: A system administrator must maintain an exemplary work ethic
· Code 6: At all times system administrators must display professionalism in the performance of their duties
SYSADMINS: Take this like your daily reading & your work and life remind 4 ever.
