MarkLogic Server must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to delete privileges/permissions occur.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Failed attempts to change the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized attempts to elevate or restrict privileges could go undetected. To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed attempts in addition to the successful ones.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
Configure MarkLogic to produce audit records when the system denies attempts to remove, revoke, or deny privileges/permissions/role membership, or when other errors prevent attempts to remove, revoke, or deny privileges/permissions/role membership to any user or role.
Perform the fix from the MarkLogic Server Admin Interface with a user that holds administrative-level privileges.
1. Click the Groups icon.
2. Click the group in which the configuration to be checked resides (e.g., Default).
