Who Has Admin Rights in your Entra ID Directory?

This article provides PowerShell scripts to audit administrative role assignments in Microsoft Entra ID, helping organizations identify who holds privileged access. The author emphasizes that overprovisioned admin accounts are a common finding during security audits and recommends conducting a detailed review to catch stale accounts, departed employees, and unnecessary privilege escalation.

Why it matters: Identity and access administrators need to regularly review and validate who holds admin rights in Entra ID to reduce risk from privilege creep, departed staff, and accidental misuse; this aligns with CIS Control 6 (Access Control Management).
