ColdFusion must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which logable events are to be logged.

Description
ColdFusion utilizes role-based access controls in order to specify those individuals who are able to configure logable events. Allowing users other than the ISSM and appointed individuals access to turn logged events on or off allows a user to mask their actions by disabling logging. By enabling excessive logging or by enabling debugging, a user can generate logged events containing information that can be used to later attack the system or gain access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
