## Control
20+
21+
The information system automatically removes or; disables temporary and emergency accounts after an: organization-defined time period for each type of account.
22+
23+
### Supplemental Guidance
24+
25+
This control enhancement requires the removal of both temporary and emergency accounts automatically after a predefined period of time has elapsed, rather than at the convenience of the systems administrator.
26+
27+
## Responsibility
28+
29+
### Customer Responsibility
30+
31+
Private Mendix Platform does not provision temporary or emergency accounts outside of normal pre-provisioning and login (SSO) mechanisms.
32+
33+
## Guidance
34+
35+
### Customer Responsibility
36+
37+
To effectively manage temporary and emergency accounts, organizations should:
38+
39+
* Define specific time limits for each type of account based on operational needs and security requirements.
40+
* Configure the information system to automatically disable or remove these accounts once the defined period expires.
41+
* Regularly review account activity and ensure that no temporary or emergency account remains active beyond its authorized timeframe.
42+
* Document the procedures for account creation, monitoring, and removal to ensure compliance and accountability.

## Control
20+
21+
The organization:
22+
23+
* Establishes and administers privileged user accounts in accordance with a role-based access scheme that organizes allowed information system access and privileges into roles.
24+
* Monitors privileged role assignments.
25+
* Takes organization-defined actions when privileged role assignments are no longer appropriate.
26+
27+
### Supplemental Guidance
28+
29+
Privileged roles are organization-defined roles assigned to individuals that allow those individuals to perform certain security-relevant functions that ordinary users are not authorized to perform. These privileged roles include, for example, key management, account management, network and system administration, database administration, and web administration.
30+
31+
## Responsibility
32+
33+
### Customer Responsibility
34+
35+
Customers are responsible for defining and documenting their organization-specific privileged roles in alignment with job functions and the principle of least privilege, establishing formal processes for requesting, approving, and provisioning privileged access within Private Mendix Platform. They must conduct periodic access reviews to ensure role assignments remain appropriate, and supplement the platform's built-in monitoring audit logging tools to capture a complete trail of privileged role changes.
36+
37+
Additionally, customers are responsible for defining and enforcing actions when privileged access is no longer appropriate — including integrating role revocation with Identity Provider (IdP) workflows to ensure timely de-provisioning upon employee offboarding or role changes, and establishing internal SLAs to govern the timeliness of such actions.
38+
39+
## Guidance
40+
41+
### Customer Responsibility
42+
43+
Privileged access to Private Mendix Platform is controlled through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that is driven by the customer's Identity Provider (IdP):
44+
45+
#### Authentication
46+
47+
Users authenticate through the customer's IdP (for example, Azure AD, Entra ID, or other SAML 2.0 or OIDC-compliant provider). The platform does not maintain independent credential stores for end users.
48+
49+
#### Role Assignment through IdP Claims or Groups
50+
51+
The customer's IdP asserts group memberships or role claims during authentication. These IdP groups or claims are mapped to corresponding Private Mendix Platform roles. This ensures that the customer retains centralized control over who holds privileged roles.
52+
53+
#### Access Enforcement
54+
55+
Upon authentication, the platform evaluates the user's IdP-asserted roles and grants or denies access to privileged actions accordingly. Users without the required privileged role mapping cannot access or execute privileged functions.
56+
57+
#### Lifecycle Management
58+
59+
When a user's group membership or role claim is modified or removed in the customer's IdP, their privileged access within Private Mendix Platform and Mendix applications is updated at the next authentication event. This ensures that privilege revocation is handled centrally through the IdP.
60+
