Yes, that is the way to work. I've never seen any point to recycling, and many points against. john -----Original Message----- From: "David Colling" <[log in to unmask]> To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 22/02/08 16:45 Subject: Re: sgm/prd pool accounts Hi John, I believe that we do effectively by turning off account recycling. So although we have a pool of accounts because the accounts are never recycled once they are allocated they remain associated with the same person (I guess until we rebuild/upgrade the CE I guess). Isn't this the case for most sites, for all the hideous security reasons that have outlined on list many times before? Yes, I realise that this is a different issue to the sgm accounts but it is not totally unrelated.
