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.
