AC.L2-3.1.15  

Reference: CMMC 2.0

Family: AC

Level Introduced: 2

Title: Privileged Remote Access

Practice:
Authorize remote execution of privileged commands and remote access to security-relevant information.

CMMC Clarification:
Privileged users need to execute commands with elevated privileges. But not all privileged users are allowed to perform these functions from a remote location, and not all privileged commands can be executed remotely. You must document which user roles have permissions to remotely execute privileged commands to make changes and to access security relevant information. In addition, you must document which administrative functions can be executed remotely. This documentation must be used to establish security mechanisms that enforce the policy.

Example
In accordance with the Access Control Policy certain users may be permitted to perform a limited set of administrative commands from a remote machine. Implement controls to enforce 1) who can remotely execute a privileged command and which privileged commands they can execute, and 2) who is allowed access to security relevant information such as audit log configuration settings.
