AU-9(6): Protection of Audit Information | Read-only Access

Control Text:

Authorize read-only access to audit information to [Assignment: organization-defined subset of privileged users or roles].

Restricting privileged user or role authorizations to read-only helps to limit the potential damage to organizations that could be initiated by such users or roles, such as deleting audit records to cover up malicious activity.
