Check Text ( C-9320r357986_chk )
Interview the SA to determine if there is an automated system for managing user accounts, preferably integrated with an existing enterprise user management system. If there is not, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-9320r357987_fix)
Implement an automated system for managing user accounts that minimizes the risk of errors, either intentional or deliberate. If possible, this system should integrate with an existing enterprise user management system, such as, one based Active Directory or Kerberos.
