3.2 Formulating Account Management Policies

In formulating an account management policy, implement the following and document the formulated policy.

Organize system users and roles

Identify the necessary roles of the relevant system based on "Types of user". Additionally, organize personnel for each role.

Organize accounts

Organize accounts with the appropriate privileges for each role, and decide on account policies.

  • Database administrator account

    • Organize separate accounts for database administrators and database operators

    • Ensure that the database administrator account can only be used by specific persons

    • Perform tasks that do not require database administrator privileges using a separate account without database administrator privileges

  • General account

    Create an account for general users by application usage.

Review account management policy

Review the accounts in order to effectively implement security measures.

  • Regularly check the accounts mentioned above and their privileges, and determine if they are still appropriate

  • If there have been system or operational changes, review the accounts and privileges

  • If unsuitable accounts and privileges are discovered, modify them as required
