S/O Why limit guest wifi?

Thanks for answering my question.

I thought there was probably a reason why, but the admin assist can also be a little "off" in her reasoning. She continuously tells people she can't give them the church tax id number because it's "like the church's social security number" and it should be kept private. Ummm...not exactly.

You're making a lot of assumptions but that's not entirely unusual.

I haven't personally needed the wifi password. It came up in conversation because we were doing a church wide study and each Sunday School class leader had to access something on the internet during the Sunday School hour. The admin didn't want to give out the wifi password. I honestly have no idea how the issue was resolved because I wasn't leading the class and didn't need to know. The study was delayed by two weeks and in the end they had access to the Internet in some way.

I like the admin a lot but also happen to know disciplinary action has been taken because she refuses to facilitate certain things...such as the church-wide study because she was protecting the internet password and a significant setback for a huge outreach project because she refused to give the tax-Id number to the person who needed it.

Those were specific examples and relate to a staff issue more than anything but it raised the question for me *why* people would restrict Wifi usage.

My fault for not being more clear. I'm not saying she should post the tax id number for the world to see. Current procedure is that various ministries through the church set up their own accounts (for example) to buy supplies. When setting up the account, the tax id number is often needed. She refuses to provide the tax id number. She also refuses to set the accounts up herself so others won't need to have the tax id number. It kind of needs to be one way or the other. Either she takes care of it so there is no need to share the info or she has to share the info in some way so somebody else can set it up. Our last pastor blindly followed whatever she wanted and it caused major problems. This pastor is not doing that and is resolving issues by putting new procedures in place or refining old ones. When she refused to comply, there was disciplinary action taken. She is a lovely person. I like her a lot. She's hilariously funny and a heck of a photographer. But she also wasn't doing one very small part of her job. I didn't include that in my op because I didn't think all the detail was needed. My mistake.
