Application users privileges should be restricted to assignment using application user roles.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-15629 DG0121-SQLServer9 SV-24106r1_rule ECLP-1 Medium
Description
Privileges granted outside the role of the application user job function are more likely to go unmanaged or without oversight for authorization. Maintenance of privileges using roles defined for discrete job functions offers improved oversight of application user privilege assignments and helps to protect against unauthorized privilege assignment.
