What it checks
Administrative units provide delegated administrative scope by grouping users, groups, and devices into logical containers with specific administrators assigned to manage only those objects. Without administrative units, delegated administrators may have broader access than intended, or administrative boundaries may not align with organizational structure. Properly configured administrative units enforce least-privilege delegation and prevent administrative overreach.
Recommended value
Administrative units configured to align with organizational delegation model with restricted management administrative units used for sensitive objects
Remediation
Review existing administrative unit configuration in Entra ID > Roles and administrators > Administrative units. Evaluate whether the current structure aligns with your organizational delegation requirements and whether sensitive objects such as privileged accounts are protected by restricted management administrative units. Create or modify administrative units as needed to ensure administrators can only manage objects within their designated scope.
Fixture-proven verdicts
