Assigning group/role memberships and access authorizations (privileges) while reviewing accounts addresses improper privilege management.
Always invoking the reference monitor prevents missing authorization checks for protected resources.
Requires verification that authorization checks are present and operational for protected resources.
Requiring explicit authorization for each internal connection prevents missing authorization.
Restricting who can perform changes helps ensure privileges are managed properly rather than assigned broadly.
Manages privileges by authorizing only approved personnel and supervising those lacking required authorizations for maintenance.
