In my case the organization had very limited resources. They didn't have the time or resources to create an account for everyone or to have everyone create their own account and then for them to approve it. They just wanted to send out a username and password that a number of people can use.<br>
<br>While it's not ideal, I don't really see any big risk here. Especially if the account only has viewing permission and they can't edit anything. <br><br>Though given the specific situation mentioned here, I wouldn't go about i that way. I'd probbaly suggest a simple custom page that doesn't require any access permissions and using Drupals user accounts. Just something simple that asks for a single password to view that one page. <br>

</div>This seems backward to me and I think this is the root of the concern<br>
that Shai and some others have expressed. Rather than sharing an<br>
account among 100 people why not have 100 accounts for them and let<br>
them share a single "Nursing" role?<br>
