| Description |
|---|
| CylanceON-PREM uses a third-party identity provider (IDP) for access. The use of a "break glass" account is a critical failsafe measure for emergency situations where normal administrative access is unavailable. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify only Administrator (break-glass user) role is local. 1. Log in to the admin console. 2. Navigate to ACCESS MANAGEMENT >> Role Management. 3. Observe the list of Roles. If any Roles other than break-glass/Admin Role exist, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Remove any local Roles except for Administrator (break-glass user role). Administrator privileges are required. 1. Log in to the admin console. 2. Navigate to ACCESS MANAGEMENT >> Role Management. 3. Under "Action", click the trashcan icon. (Note: If users are associated with the Role, the trash can icon will not exist. The user will need to be deleted first. CYLN-OP-000685) 4. Click "Remove Role". |
