Your knowledge is limited. Your experience is non.

Most of the time you have to leave servers logged in into some account, then
you just lock it via CTRL + ALT + DELETE. That is because most of the time
you have to use outdated software, or proprietary software, which was poorly
designed, etc, etc... Security should not be compromised if you behind
firewall and check your logs daily.
