Access to the Hardware Management Console (HMC) must be restricted by assigning users proper roles and responsibilities.

Description
Access to the HMC if not properly controlled and restricted by assigning users proper roles and responsibilities, could allow modification to areas outside the need-to-know and abilities of the individual resulting in a bypass of security and an altering of the environment. This would result in a loss of secure operations and can cause an impact to data operating environment integrity.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 6 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-256872r958472_chk)

Have the System Administrator verify to the reviewer that the Roles and Responsibilities assigned are assigned to the proper individuals by their areas of responsibility. Note: Sites must have a list of valid HMC users, indicating their USERID, Date of DD2875, and roles and responsibilities. Have the System Administrator verify to the reviewer that the Roles and Responsibilities assigned are assigned to the proper individuals by their areas of responsibility. To display user roles chose User Profiles and then select the user for modification. View Task Roles and Manager Resources Roles. If the HMC user-IDs displayed by the System Administrator are not properly assigned by Roles and Responsibilities, then this is a FINDING.

Fix Text (F-60490r890961_fix)

Have the System Administrator using the list user IDs and responsibilities, validate that each user is properly specified in the HMC based on his/her roles and responsibilities.
