Revoke all host system privileges from the DBA group accounts and DBA user accounts not required for database management system (DBMS) administration.
Revoke all OS group memberships that assign excessive privileges to the DBA group accounts and DBA user accounts.
Remove any directly applied permissions or user rights from the DBA group accounts and DBA user accounts.
Document all DBA group accounts and individual DBA account-assigned privileges in the system documentation.
Review host system privileges assigned to the Oracle DBA group and all individual Oracle DBA accounts.
Note: Do not include the Oracle software installation account in any results for this check.
For Unix systems (as root):
cat /etc/group | grep -i dba
groups root
If "root" is returned in the first list, this is a finding.
If any accounts listed in the first list are also listed in the second list, this is a finding.
Investigate any user account group memberships other than DBA or root groups that are returned by the following command (also as root):
groups [dba user account]
Replace [dba user account] with the user account name of each DBA account.
If individual DBA accounts are assigned to groups that grant access or privileges for purposes other than DBA responsibilities, this is a finding.
For Windows systems, click Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Local Users and Groups >> Groups >> ORA_DBA.
Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Local Users and Groups >> Groups >> ORA_[SID]_DBA (if present).

Make a note of each user listed. For each user, click Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Local Users and Groups >> Users >> [DBA username] >> Member of.
If DBA users belong to any groups other than DBA groups and the Windows Users group, this is a finding.
Examine User Rights assigned to DBA groups or group members by clicking Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Local Security Policy >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignments.
