User Added To Privilege Role

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule is designed to detect when a user is added to a privileged role within Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). It focuses specifically on changes in role assignments that grant elevated permissions, which can significantly impact security if exploited. Privileged role assignments are a critical area of concern as they can enable users to gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources and management capabilities. The detection leverages Azure AD's audit logs to track specific messages indicating that a user has been added as an eligible or permanent member of a privileged role. Given the importance of monitoring privileged role changes, this rule aims to enhance security by generating alerts for any such activities, thus aiding in the prevention of privilege escalation and associated attacks.
