Check Text ( C-43596r1_chk )
Check the AS documentation and configuration to determine if the AS provides role based access that limits the capability to change shared software libraries. Validate file permission settings to ensure library files are secured in relation to OS access. If the AS does not meet this requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-39770r1_fix)
Configure the AS according to corresponding user roles and secure file system permissions.
