This repository is intended for IT Partners Limited clients to easily and securely provide access to some or all subscriptions in their Azure Tenancy.
The Role base Azure Lighthouse configuration uses Privilaged Groups in IT Partners Limited own Azure Active Directory Tenant. This provides a mechanism for auditable JIT (Just in Time) privilege access and additional auditibility at no additional cost to the client.
By renabling Azure Lighthouse access for IT Partners, access will be granted for certain roles to read, modify and create resources on behalf of the client by IT Partners. More information at Azure AD roles and built-in roles can be found here:
IT Partners are using privilege access groups to provide access into your environment. This means no user or admin will have standing access. To gain access IT Partner consultants will need to elevate themselves into the group using Privlege Identity Management within IT Partners own Azure AD Tenant.
This has the benefit of having a full audit trail of who had access and when, additionally it means the licenses required for PIM (Privilaged Access Management) are assigned within IT Partners own Azure AD Tenant and incurs no cost to the Partner.
Additionally when elevating into groups with any kind of write privilege (all except reader) IT Partner consultants will immediately be subject to MFA and just in time controls.
