The Akamai Luna Portal must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the SAs and ISSO when accounts are removed.

Description
When application accounts are removed, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are used for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes themselves. In order to detect and respond to events that affect administrator accessibility and device processing, devices must audit account removal actions and, as required, notify the appropriate individuals so they can investigate the event. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that device accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and also provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.
