Description
Changes to any software components of the network element can have significant effects on the overall security of the network. Therefore, only qualified and authorized individuals should be allowed administrative access to the network element for implementing any changes or upgrades. If the network element were to enable non-authorized users to make changes to software libraries, those changes could be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing, validation, and approval.
