Ensure all non-privileged role assignments are periodically reviewed

Description

Perform a periodic review of non-privileged role assignments to ensure that the non-privileged roles assigned to users are appropriate.

Note: Determining 'appropriate' assignments requires a clear understanding of your organization's personnel, systems, policies, and security requirements. This cannot be effectively prescribed in a procedure.

Rationale

To ensure the principle of least privilege is followed, non-privileged role assignments should be reviewed periodically to confirm that users are granted only the minimum level of permissions they need to perform their tasks.

Impact

Increased administrative effort to manage and remove role assignments appropriately.

Audit Procedure

Using Azure Portal

  1. Go to Subscriptions.
  2. Click the name of a subscription.
  3. Click Access control (IAM).
  4. Click Role assignments.
  5. Click Job function roles.
  6. For each role, ensure the assignments are appropriate.
  7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each subscription.

Expected Result

All non-privileged role assignments should be appropriate and justified. No unnecessary or outdated role assignments should exist.

Remediation

Remediate from Azure Portal

  1. Go to Subscriptions.
  2. Click the name of a subscription.
  3. Click Access control (IAM).
  4. Click Role assignments.
  5. Click Job function roles.
  6. Check the box next to any inappropriate assignments.
  7. Click Delete.
  8. Click Yes.
  9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each subscription.

Default Value

Users do not have non-privileged roles assigned to them by default.
