| Information system management functionality includes, functions necessary to administer databases, network components, workstations, or servers, and typically requires privileged user access. The separation of user functionality from information system management functionality is either physical or logical and is accomplished by using different computers, different central processing units, different instances of the operating system, different network addresses, combinations of these methods, or other methods as appropriate. An example of this type of separation is observed in web administrative interfaces that use separate authentication methods for users of any other information system resources. This may include isolating the administrative interface on a different domain and with additional access controls.
Rationale for non-applicability:
The MDM SRG covers mobile applications that have information system management functionality. Mobile operating systems typically do not permit non-MDM applications to perform information system management. |
