Fix Text (F-17371r1_fix)
The IAO will ensure that access to the special privilege ALLCMDS is kept to a minimum and is controlled and documented. Review all LOGONIDs with the ALLCMDS attribute. Ensure documentation providing justification for access is maintained and filed with the IAO and that unjustified access is removed.
