Secure Access to Administrative Accounts

SRA 25.3.1 supports:

• SAML federation
• OIDC federation
• LDAP integration
• Local authentication (allowed but discouraged)

FedRAMP Secure Practice

• Federated authentication with MFA enforced at the IdP is strongly recommended
• MFA is supported at both the Identity Provider and local SRA levels
• Administrative access must use MFA

Administrative Lifecycle Management

Provisioning

• Admin accounts are created by existing Admin users
• RBAC follows least privilege principles
• Permissions may be scoped through Group Policies

Deprovisioning

• Federated users: governed by IdP lifecycle
• SCIM: minimal support

When an Admin account is removed:

• Access is immediately revoked
• Audit logs remain intact and immutable

Privileged Account Controls

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

SRA 25.3.1 uses granular RBAC with:

• Preconfigured least-privilege baseline at provisioning
• Customer assigned roles post provisioning
• Delegated administrative capabilities
• Group policy based permission assignment

Security sensitive settings require Admin level privileges.

Privileged Security Settings

Settings restricted to the Admin role include:

• Authentication configuration
• IP allowlisting
• Session recording enforcement
• Jump/Access policy configuration
• Credential injection controls
• Logging and retention policies

All security sensitive changes are logged.
