| Access control policies (e.g., identity-based policies, role-based policies, attribute-based policies) and access enforcement mechanisms (e.g., access control lists, access control matrices, cryptography) are employed by organizations to control access between users (or processes acting on behalf of users) and objects (e.g., devices, files, records, processes, programs, domains) in the operating system. This requirement mandates the granularity of the access is at the user level. Permanent not a finding - Root is the only user local to the host. All other roles/accounts required to be AD accounts. The Administrator (root in this case) is capable of passing (discretionary) permissions (directly and indirectly) on to any other user via (for instance) roles. |
