The NSX Manager must assign users/accounts to organization-defined roles configured with approved authorizations.

Description
The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Users must be assigned to roles which are configured with approved authorizations and access permissions. The NSX Manager must be configured granularly based on organization requirements to only allow authorized administrators to execute privileged functions. Role assignments should control which administrators can view or change the device configuration, system files, and locally stored audit information.

Who does this work

20 NICE work roles and 10 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-265292r994099_chk)

From the NSX Manager web interface, go to System >> Settings >> User Management >> User Role Assignment. View each user and group and verify the role assigned has authorization limits as appropriate to the role and in accordance with the site's documentation. If any user/group or service account are assigned to roles with privileges that are beyond those required and authorized by the organization, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-69117r994098_fix)

To create a new role with reduced permissions, do the following: From the NSX Manager web interface, go to System >> Settings >> User Management >> Roles. Click "Add Role", provide a name and the required permissions, and then click "Save". To update user or group permissions to an existing role with reduced permissions, do the following: From the NSX Manager web interface, go to System >> User Management >> User Role Assignment. Click the menu dropdown next to the target user or group and select "Edit". Remove the existing role, select the new one, and then click "Save".
