Description

This control verifies whether Amazon EFS access points are configured to enforce a specific user identity. The control is marked as non-compliant if a POSIX user identity is not defined during the creation of the EFS access point.

Amazon EFS access points are designed as application-specific entry points into an EFS file system, simplifying the management of application access to shared data. Access points can enforce a user identity, including the associated POSIX group memberships, for all file system requests made through them.
