Terminology and definitions

This list of terms and definitions are here to assist you in understanding the different types of identities and their privileges while viewing analytics reports.

Term Definition
Granted permissions The number of permissions granted due to directly attached policies, policies inherited from a group, and policies attached to a role that are assumed by an identity.
High-risk permission Permissions that have the potential to cause data leakage, service disruption and degradation, or changes in security posture.
Identity An identity is a human identity (user) or workload identity. There are different names and types of workload identities for each cloud. AWS: Lambda function (serverless function), role, resource. Azure: Azure function (serverless function), service principal. GCP: Cloud function (serverless function), service account.
Inactive group Inactive groups have members who haven't used their granted permissions in the current environment (I.e. AWS Account)  in the last 90 days.  
Inactive identity Inactive identities haven't used their granted permissions in the current environment (i.e. AWS Account) the last 90 days.
Over-provisioned active identity Over-provisioned active identities aren't using all the permissions they've been granted in the current environment.
Permission A permission is an action an identity can perform on a resource.
Privilege escalation Identities with privilege escalation can increase the number of permissions they've been granted. They can do this to potentially acquire full administrative control of the AWS account or GCP project.
Super identity Super identities are granted permissions to all actions and resources in the current environment (i.e. AWS account).
Used permissions The number of permissions used by an identity in the last 90 days.
