Potential false positivesedit

Access level modifications may be done by a system or network administrator. Verify whether the username, hostname, and/or resource name should be making changes in your environment. Access level modifications from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.

Investigation guideedit

The Azure Filebeat module must be enabled to use this rule.
