IT / Systems Access Handover
Document the systems access an EA has set up for an executive — accounts, delegations, MFA, recovery.
When to use this
Critical for any EA going on leave, leaving, or handing over to a cover. Without this, the new EA spends two weeks discovering by accident which systems they need.
