# Tier0 Analysis

Accessing the Tier0 Analysis Module

* Navigate to the Visualize section in the application menu.
* Select the Tier0 Analysis option.

### Platform Selection

The selector above the graph chooses which provider the Tier 0 analysis is drawn for, so a scan that covers more than one provider has its own Tier 0 graph for Active Directory, Entra ID, AWS, GCP and GitHub. The graph, the Info panel and the Members table all follow the selection, and each member row carries the provider logo next to its entity type.

### Graph View

* The central area displays an interactive graph where nodes represent object groupss, and edges represent relationships.
* Different colors indicate sum members count in nodes.
* Hovering over a node provides additional details about the object.
* The graph visualizes relationships between Tier0 (red node) and Tier2 (other nodes) objects.
* Edges represent different types of relationships (e.g., IN\_GROUP, GenericAll).

**Tier2 to Tier0 Relationships**

* Direct or indirect relationships between Tier2 and Tier0 objects can indicate potential privilege escalation vectors.

**Tier2 to Tier2 Relationships**

* Analyze relationships among Tier2 objects to identify lateral movement paths. For example, a user in one group may have access to another group due to nested memberships.

### **Info Panel**

On the right side, the Info panel shows detailed information about the selected node, including:

* **FSName:** Fully Qualified Name of the object.
* **Type:** Object type (e.g., Tier, User, Group, Computer).
* **Guid:** Globally Unique Identifier.
* **Id:** Object ID.
* **Member Count:** Number of direct members.
* **Sum Member Count:** Total number of members, including nested members.
* **Outgoing Relation:** Name of relationship originating from that group.

### **Members Table**

* Below the Info panel, the Members table lists all members of the selected group, along with their types, incoming and outgoing relation counts to parent group's members.
* The `Type` and `FSName` columns each have their own search box, so a large member list can be narrowed to one entity type or one name.
* **Show Incoming Paths in Search & Reports** opens the paths that reach the selected node in [Search & Reports](/fsprotect/search-and-reports.md), where they can be filtered and exported.

#### **Color-Coded Risk Levels**

The system utilizes a standardized color scheme to represent the **risk level** or **sensitivity** of objects within the Active Directory environment. This visual indicator helps users quickly identify high-risk components such as **Tier0** and **Tier2** objects, as well as neutral or informational entities like standard users or computers.

The algorithm calculates the **risk score** for each group by analyzing its **sum member count** , which includes both direct and indirect members (e.g., nested group memberships). Based on this score, the group is assigned a **color-coded risk level** that reflects its potential impact on security.

Each object is assigned a **numerical score between 0 and 100** , which corresponds to one of four **color-coded risk levels** :

| Score Range |                                                                                                                            Colour                                                                                                                           |          Node          |
