Are you responsible for transactions run using your USER ID?

The statement that you are personally responsible for transactions run using your USER ID is correct because in most data and communication systems, including IDACS, each user is accountable for the actions taken with their credentials. When you log into a system using your USER ID, you are considered the agent making those transactions, regardless of the context in which they occur—be it personal or agency-related.

This principle is in place to promote accountability and integrity within the system. Users need to safeguard their credentials and refrain from sharing them to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse. Proper training emphasizes understanding the responsibility that comes with access, ensuring that each user is aware that any erroneous or fraudulent activity linked to their USER ID falls under their accountability.

In contrast, options that suggest the agency (not the individual) bears responsibility or that accountability only applies to certain types of transactions downplay the personal accountability aspect, often leading to negligence or misuse of access privileges within the system.
