Only one of Bredemarket’s clients has given me nearly-unfettered privileges in its WordPress and LinkedIn accounts.
Yes, this seemingly violates the principle of least privilege, but it turns out I needed the enhanced WordPress access.
I initially had the ability to write drafts, but this did not allow me to fully incorporate graphics into my draft posts. So I obtained the higher privilege, but never used it to post anything.
I could, and did, post on my client’s LinkedIn account, but even that was coordinated.
The company eventually paused its activities, and my access to its WordPress and LinkedIn accounts (and other accounts) was no longer necessary, and those privileges eventually were rescinded.
But this was unusual. For most of my clients, I throw my work over a wall, and the client takes it from there.
Which is as it should be. After all, I shouldn’t be self-approving my client blog posts. What’s next, approving my payments?
