AzADServicePrincipalInsights

Insights and change tracking on Azure Active Directory Service Principals (Enterprise Applications and Applications)

Updates

  • 20220717
    • Removed identity governance state validation
    • Use AzAPICall PowerShell module version 1.1.18
  • 20220630
    • Breaking Change on the Azure side: Instead of RoleManagement.Read.All we require RoleManagement.Read.Directory
  • 20220622_1
    • Fix /providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignmentScheduleInstances AzAPICall errorhandling (error 400, 500)
    • Optimize procedure to update the AzAPICall module
    • Use AzAPICall PowerShell module version 1.1.17
  • 20220613_1
    • use AzAPICall module version 1.1.16
    • enhance HiPo Users HTML output
    • minor fixes
  • 20220609_1
    • add parameter -CriticalAADRoles (defaults: Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, Privileged Authentication Administrator)
    • add HiPo Users - A HiPo User has direct or indirect ownership on a ServicePrincipal(s) with classified permissions (AppRole, AAD Role, Azure Role, OAuthPermissionGrant)
    • use AzAPICall module version 1.1.13
    • minor fixes
  • 20220505_1
    • fix: using:scriptPath variable in foreach parallel (this is only relevant for Azure DevOps and GitHub if you have a non default folder structure in your repository) - thanks Matt :)
  • 20220501_1
    • parameter -ManagementGroupId accepts multiple Management Groups in form of an array e.g. .\pwsh\AzADServicePrincipalInsights.ps1 -ManagementGroupId @('mgId0', 'mgId1')
    • new parameter -OnlyProcessSPsThatHaveARoleAssignmentInTheRelevantMGScopes. You may want to only report on Service Principals that have RBAC permissions on Azure resources at and below that Management Group scope(s) (Management Groups, Subscriptions, Resource Groups and Resources)
    • Role assignments on Azure resources - mark those RBAC Role assignments which leverage a RBAC Role definition that can create role assignments as critical
    • updated YAML workflow/pipeline files
    • minor bug fixes
    • performance optimization
  • 20220425_2
    • add parameter -ManagementGroupId (if undefined, then Tenant Root Management Group will be used)
