We have a vertical market vendor who we bought a program requesting to
place
a separate SQL Server instance on our server without giving us admin
rights.
I understand that they want to protect their schema and want to keep us
from
writing to the DB, but I feel very uncomfortable with this. What would
you
do? Thanks.
Ed, I don't believe in generalized discomfort as a rationale for doing or
not doing anything, nor as license to be annoyed; what I would do is ask
them to explain THEIR rationale for what they want to do, although I think
you already know the answer on that. I would also ask myself and my team if
we actually need admin rights, and for what purpose. If we needed X, Y and Z
permissions to satisfy internal policy, audit requirements or something else
then I would make that known to the vendor. If they were unwilling or unable
to satisfy a legitimate concern or business need, I would dismiss them.
Otherwise, I would move forward.
