Known benign triggers

  • Service principal being created may be performed by a system administrator.
  • Service principal created from unfamiliar users should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
  • Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment.
