Acceptable Use

Define responsible use of systems, accounts, data, and shared resources.

Purpose

This policy states the rule, the reason, the expected behavior, the exception path, and the review owner without trying to document every procedure.

Policy shape

Rule	State the expected behavior in direct language.
Reason	Explain the operating risk or obligation behind the rule.
Owner	Name who maintains the policy and decides exceptions.
Evidence	Define what proves the policy is being followed.
Review	Set a review cadence and update trigger.

When to use

When the work repeats often enough that memory is no longer reliable.
When more than one person may request, perform, review, or inherit the work.
When risk, approval, evidence, or handoff needs to be visible later.

Common failure modes

Ownership is implied rather than named.
Inputs are accepted before they are complete.
The output is not easy to verify later.

Review guidance

Review this page after a material incident, after a role or system change, and on a normal cadence appropriate to its risk. During review, check whether the owner is still correct, whether inputs are still complete, whether the output is still useful, and whether related pages need updates.
