Description
By separating web server security functions from non-privileged users, roles can be developed that can then be used to administer the web server. Forcing users to change from a non-privileged account to a privileged account when operating on the web server or on security-relevant information forces users to only operate as a web server administrator when necessary. Operating in this manner allows for better logging of changes and better forensic information and limits accidental changes to the web server.
