Use non-privileged accounts or roles when accessing nonsecurity functions.

An unprivileged account doesn't allow the user to change system settings, install software or manage users. Privileged accounts give the user full access to a system. Using an unprivileged account reduces cyber risk because it has less permissions hence system administrators should use them when not conducting system admin or security related tasks on a system.

Provide your system administrators with two user accounts. One account is to be unprivileged and the other is to be privileged. Your administrators should only use their privileged accounts when they need to carry out a privileged function. An example is when they need to change settings on a system or install software. For any other tasks they must use their unprivileged account such as when they log into their computer to check their emails or create word documents.
