Predefined task roles to the Hardware Management Console (HMC) must be specified to limit capabilities of individual users.

Description
Individual task roles with access to specific resources if not created and restricted, will allow unrestricted access to system functions. The following is an example of some managed resource categories: Tasks are functions that a user can perform, and the managed resource role defines where those tasks might be carried out. The Access Administrator assigns a user ID and user roles to each user of the Hardware Management Console. • OPERATOR OPERATOR • ADVANCED ADVANCED OPERATOR • ACSADMIN ACCESS ADMINISTRTOR • SYSPROG SYSTEM PROGRAMMER • SERVICE SRVICE REPRESENTATIVE Failure to establish this environment may lead to uncontrolled access to system resources.

Who does this work

17 NICE work roles and 9 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-256876r958472_chk)

Have the System Administrator display the user profiles and demonstrate that valid users are defined to valid roles and that authorities are restricted to the site list of users. Note: Sites must have a list of valid HMC users, indicating their USER IDs, Date of DD2875, and roles and responsibilities. To display user roles chose User Profiles and then select the user for modification. View Task Roles and Manager Resources Roles. If the different roles are not properly displayed or are not properly restricted, then this is a FINDING.
