Direct answer
Shared credentials weaken accountability, make role changes hard to enforce, and can leave access active after responsibilities change. Linking users and groups to an existing directory can centralize identity while application roles still limit what each person may see or do.
Practical checkpoint
Test onboarding, role change, password rotation, lockout, and offboarding with named accounts; confirm reports and audit trails retain useful individual attribution.
