Logical access provisioning requires approval from appropriate personnel.
Context
The purpose of this control is to ensure there is a process in place to review and authorize new user account requests. Ensuring only people who require access to a system or service receive access helps improve GitLab's overall security posture by limiting the number of accounts with access and reducing the overall likelihood of an account being compromised.
Scope
This control applies to any system or service where user accounts can be provisioned.
Ownership
Control ownership:
IT Operations
Process ownership:
IT Operations
Managers
Systems Owners
Guidance
Provisioning should be based on predetermined roles with business justification and management approval. The process owner should use role-based authentication whenever possible to make this control easier and to segregate out this function from that of other system functions.
