Posture check · Entra ID and hybrid
Admin role assigned permanently (T1078.004)
This account or group holds an admin role at all times. With Privileged Identity Management, the role is active only after someone activates it.
Why it matters
Anyone who steals this account has the admin role at once. An eligible assignment makes them activate it first, which adds a step where they can be stopped.
How GraphnAI finds it
It runs after every sync, on each connected domain or tenant on its own. It applies to Microsoft Entra ID. It needs Microsoft Entra ID P2 or Microsoft Entra ID Governance: on a tenant without it, the check doesn't apply.

Why there's no automatic fix
Making an assignment eligible is done in Privileged Identity Management.
How to fix it
Make the assignment eligible in Privileged Identity Management, so the role is active only when someone activates it.
