Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• AC-03(04)[01] [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] is enforced over the set of covered subjects specified in the policy;
• AC-03(04)[02] [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] is enforced over the set of covered objects specified in the policy;
• AC-03(04)(a) [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] and [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] are enforced where the policy specifies that a subject that has been granted access to information can pass the information to any other subjects or objects;
• AC-03(04)(b) [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] and [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] are enforced where the policy specifies that a subject that has been granted access to information can grant its privileges to other subjects;
• AC-03(04)(c) [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] and [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] are enforced where the policy specifies that a subject that has been granted access to information can change security attributes on subjects, objects, the system, or the system’s components;
• AC-03(04)(d) [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] and [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] are enforced where the policy specifies that a subject that has been granted access to information can choose the security attributes to be associated with newly created or revised objects;
• AC-03(04)(e) [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] and [Assignment: discretionary access control policy] are enforced where the policy specifies that a subject that has been granted access to information can change the rules governing access control.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• Access control policy
• discretionary access control policies

• list of subjects and objects (i.e., users and resources) requiring enforcement of discretionary access control policies
• system audit records
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with access enforcement responsibilities
• system/network administrators
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
