AlmaLinux OS 9 must prevent a user from overriding the disabling of the graphical user smart card removal action.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. Regardless of where the session lock is determined and implemented, once invoked, the session lock must remain in place until the user re-authenticates. No other activity aside from re-authentication must unlock the system.
