Cyber Essentials certification requires that your business control access to your data through user accounts. Administration privileges (admin accounts) are only given to those that need them, and that what an administrator can do with those accounts is controlled.

User accounts should be used for general day to day work and admin accounts should only be used to perform administrative tasks. Admin accounts should not be used for email and general web browsing.

The requirements currently ask for full account separation, so a separate Username/ Password for each User account and Admin account.

We provide in app guidance as part of one of our checks "User is not local Admin" to see how to change the user privileges please go to the dashboard and select any device which is failing this check. From here select Steps to Fix and those steps will be shown relative to the device.
