Description
To ensure individual accountability and prevent unauthorized access, administrators must be individually identified and authenticated. Individual accountability mandates that each administrator is uniquely identified. A group authenticator is a shared account or some other form of authentication that allows multiple unique individuals to access the network device using a single account. If a device allows or provides for group authenticators, it must individually authenticate administrators prior to implementing group authenticator functionality. Some devices may not have the need to provide a group authenticator; this is considered a matter of device design. Where the device design includes the use of a group authenticator, this requirement will apply. This requirement applies to accounts created and managed on or by the network device.

Check Text (C-243139r879594_chk)

Review the network device configuration and validate that users are authenticated before they are assigned privileges based on the role or group the account is assigned to. If a user can gain access to network device privileges before they are authenticated, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-46371r719871_fix)

Configure the network device to authenticate users before assigning privileges to each individual user account based on the role or group the account is assigned to.
