Description
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that shared user accounts will not be used. Unless the use of shared user accounts is operationally essential and/or the device in question does not support multiple accounts. The identity of users of DSN components need to be available to the ISSO/IAO through the use of unique usernames assigned to each user. This ensures that the ISSO/IAO is able to hold users accountable for their actions through the analysis of audit records. This type of accountability cannot be accomplished if shared accounts are used.
