2.7.6-10 Protection from Interference by Other Users

Data should be protected from inadvertent loss caused by the actions of other users.

Additional Information:
When one user's actions can be interrupted by another user, that interruption should be temporary and nondestructive. The interrupted user should subsequently be able to resume operation at the point of interruption without data loss. When multiple users review, enter, or modify data in a system, they should be able to review and browse data changes or entries made by other users. In systems where information handling requires the coordinated action of multiple users, it may be appropriate that one user can change data that will be used by others. However, when multiple users will act independently, then care should be taken to ensure that they will not interfere with one another.
