Segregation of Duties related

Subject: Segregation of Duties related

I am preparing a "Segregation fo Duties` Matrix within my IS function (Is there a better way to hit it?)

I found a very basic chart at ISACA website: ( Linked Below...)

According to this chart, some of the things in the Control Matrix are obvious but some aren`t so.

A few that I am having difficulty understanding are: For example, A database admin can be a 'Tape Librarian' but Network/Systems admin create a control weakness on this job function and so does a Security Admin. Why?

-> Also, DBA can be a systems analyst but cannot be an application programmer.
-> A Network or a System Administrator, cannot be a Help Desk Support manager.


I was wondering, what are the potential control weaknesses here??
The information I am referring to can be found at:
