The computer belongs to the company, and the information on
it _should_ belong to the company (though what people put on
computers can't be completely monitored), but keeping one
employee out of another's accounts is important for a variety
of reasons.

That does not preclude access to the machine's content. Anyone
with root access should be able to do that. You shouldn't
have to log in AS THAT USER in order to access the computer's
content.
