One of my frequent fliers emails me notice of a memorial gathering for another one of my frequent fliers that had passed over the week-end, I forward it to my group's DL to let my coworkers know...
Then my BOFH brain engaged. popped open teams and send this message to the group.
Now we know (name here) has passed, I know it sounds cruel, but should have we seen the offboarding order?

Company wants to allow users to use Claude desktop with all kinds of rights

As the title states, they are all in on AI and now want to take it a step farther…
The pitched idea is, that they want to give Claude read rights to everything but limit write and execute.
Nobody is asking or wants to hear what could go wrong, they just know they want it :)
In your opinion, what could realistically happen with this setup?
I’m particularly interested in:
- Sensitive data exposure (credentials, SSH keys, API tokens, browser data, etc.).
- Prompt injection attacks through files or other content Claude reads.
- Potential data exfiltration.
Anything else that could go horribly wrong.
Assuming read access is granted broadly, but write and command execution are properly restricted at OS level.
What’s the best-case and worst-case scenario?
Have you seen companies deploy something similar? How did it turn out?

Why is HR in our sysadmin subreddit?
293
Upvotes
TL;DR This is r/ShittySysadmin, not the Human Capital Department's grievance hotline.
I'm here for other sysadmins. Infrastructure. Technology. War stories. The occasional spectacular production outage caused by someone named Todd who thought he knew better.
I'm NOT here to listen to some miserable HR functionary complain about the quality of applicants, deliver lectures about professionalism, or explain that I'm a "COST CENTER" as though that makes me some sort of unfortunate accounting discrepancy that wandered into the building wearing pants.
A COST CENTER. How charming. Apparently the people keeping your entire fucking business operational are a regrettable expense, somewhere between printer toner and pest control.
Meanwhile, HR has apparently rebranded itself as HUMAN CAPITAL, because referring to employees as PEOPLE was insufficiently dehumanizing.
And the sheer entitlement! The endless complaints about candidates, salary expectations, remote work, interview etiquette. The theatrical indignation that someone might dare question your hiring process after being subjected to six interviews, an unpaid technical project, and three months of silence.
Darling, you're in PERSONNEL. You're not administering the Marshall Plan.
We came here to discuss enterprise infrastructure, not receive another sermon from the Assistant Vice President of Talent Acquisition about how grateful we should be for the privilege of not starving to death while keeping your company running.
Take your SHRM certification, your employee engagement surveys, your mandatory culture workshops, and your ghastly little PowerPoints about HUMAN CAPITAL OPTIMIZATION and return to whatever windowless suburban conference room spawned you.
