3.7.6
What it means
Supervise maintenance performed by people who lack the access authorization normally required. Manufacturers, vendors, consultants, or integrators may need privileged access on short notice; you can issue temporary, one-time or time-limited credentials based on a risk assessment, but watch their activities while they work.
