## Security Best Practices for Users

To maximize security, we recommend:

### For Administrators

1. **Enable SSO** - Centralize identity management
2. **Require MFA** - Add extra layer of security
3. **Configure access groups** - Limit access to need-to-know basis
4. **Review audit logs regularly** - Monitor for unusual activity
5. **Limit admin permissions** - Only assign admin role when necessary
6. **Use strong passwords** - If not using SSO, enforce password policies

### For All Users

1. **Use strong, unique passwords** - Never reuse passwords
2. **Enable MFA on your account** - If available
3. **Log out after sessions** - Especially on shared computers
4. **Don't share credentials** - Each user should have their own account
5. **Report suspicious activity** - Contact admin or support immediately
6. **Be cautious with exports** - Exported data contains sensitive information
