Description

Tenant Users, Groups, Applications, Service Principals, Devices, Roles, Subscriptions, and other tenant-scoped objects

This edge is not directly exploitable. It shows tenancy and how directory roles and permissions are scoped within the tenant boundary.

Related edges: AZ_PARENT.

Identification

Use the Azure Portal and Microsoft Entra admin center:

  1. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> Overview to see the tenant and its scoped identity objects.
  2. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> Users for tenant users.
  3. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> Groups for tenant groups.
  4. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> App registrations for tenant applications.
  5. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> Enterprise applications for tenant service principals.
  6. Open Microsoft Entra ID -> Devices for tenant devices.
  7. Open Azure Portal -> Subscriptions for subscriptions associated with the tenant.

Exploitation

There is no direct exploit for this edge. It represents a containment relationship.

Tenant-level privileged roles (Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, etc.) have full control over all child entities within the tenant.
