controls::review role grantees with with admin option
Overview
Puppet controls are Puppet defined types that ensure a certain security control is implemented. Puppet changes the system in order to make the system compliant.
Description of the control
Using the WITH ADMIN OPTION
clause of the GRANT
(Role) SQL statement, the security administrator can delegate the management and control of membership in a role to someone else.
Rationale
The WITH ADMIN OPTION
clause gives another user the authority to grant membership in the role to other users, to revoke membership in the role from other members of the role, and to comment on a role, but not to drop the role.
Skipping
To deliberately skip this control (e.g. meaning don’t use Puppet to enforce this setting), we provide you with two ways:
1) Add db2_secured::controls::review_role_grantees_with_with_admin_option: skip
to your hiera data. This will skip this control for ALL systems.
3) Add an entry with the content review_role_grantees_with_with_admin_option
to the array value db2_secured::skip_list
in your hiera data.
Benchmarks
This control is used in the following benchmarks:
- db10 CIS V1.1.0 - paragraph 8.5

title
The database identifier to apply the control to.
All controls need an database identifier to apply the control to. Here is a simple example:
db2_secured::controls::control_name { 'db2inst1/MYDB':}
In this example, the string dbinst1
is the instance, the string MYDB
is the database to apply the control to.
