Review the list of active non-DBA accounts and roles granted system privileges. Any accounts listed as authorized for checks DO0340 (Oracle application administration roles enablement) and DG0008 (Oracle object ownership) are not a Finding. On a production database, confirm that any accounts listed with create user, alter user, drop user belong to authorized application administration roles. On a development system, ensure that system privileges assigned to developers are justified and authorized by the IAO. If any unauthorized, unjustified or undocumented application user roles or accounts are listed, this is a Finding.

Fix Text (F-26514r1_fix)
Document and justify system privileges assigned to users/roles in the System Security Plan and authorize with the IAO. Remove unauthorized or unjustified system privileges from user accounts or roles. From SQL*Plus: revoke [privilege] from [user or role name]; Replace [privilege] with the named privilege and [user or role name] with the identified user or role.
