Users with Admin Access Directly​

Overview​

The "Users with Admin Access Directly" widget provides visibility into IAM users who have direct administrative access. Admin access is often a high-risk privilege, and this widget helps track users who may have excessive privileges, allowing for better security oversight.

Why It Matters​

For IT Engineers:​

  1. Access Control:
    • Helps identify users with direct admin access, making it easier to review and reduce over-permissioning.
  2. Operational Efficiency:
    • Ensures that only the necessary users have admin access, helping streamline permission management.

For Security Engineers:​

  1. Risk Reduction:
    • Minimizes the risk of accidental or malicious changes to critical systems by identifying users with excessive administrative privileges.
  2. Audit & Monitoring:
    • Aids in monitoring for any unauthorized use or privilege escalation involving admin accounts.
