Access Denied Events for Users Across All Resources

Overview

The "Access Denied Events for Users Across All Resources" widget highlights instances where users attempted to access resources but were denied due to insufficient permissions. This data is critical for identifying misconfigurations, monitoring unauthorized access attempts, and enforcing proper access controls.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Access Debugging:

   • Helps diagnose permission issues by identifying access denials.

2. Resource Configuration:

   • Flags potential misconfigurations in user or resource permissions.

3. Operational Efficiency:

   • Reduces troubleshooting time by pinpointing specific denied access events.

For Security Engineers:

1. Threat Detection:

   • Identifies unauthorized attempts that could indicate potential breaches or insider threats.

2. Policy Enforcement:

   • Ensures users are adhering to organizational access policies.

3. Anomaly Detection:

   • Detects unusual patterns of access denial events that could signify malicious activity.
