Standards/Social Media/Account Creation and Management

=Standard: Account Creation and Management=

Purpose
The procedures to follow when creating and managing official Pirate Party Australia social media accounts.

Account creation

 * Only the Social Media Officer may create new social media accounts. Only one account should be created per service. If for whatever reason the original account is inaccessible, the Social Media Officer should work with IT to restore access before creating a new account.
 * Regional coordinators may create and manage their own social media accounts.
 * All accounts registered by the Party must be done so under a specific @pirateparty.org.au email address as provided by IT for the purposes of registering accounts.

Page apps and information

 * Only the Social Media Officer may add new apps or pages to accounts. Apps must be relevant to the account and should not spam users (eg a Twitter app that posts advertisements).
 * All information such as links, addresses, and authorisation bylines must be kept up to date.

Security

 * Where required, account passwords should be unique. They should be kept secure and not transmitted across unencrypted services (eg they should not be pasted into Etherpad or sent over email).
 * Passwords should be updated every 3 months at minimum.
