Solving 3 Key AD and Entra ID Group Management Challenges

· Nested Groups - Risks from improperly nested groups
· Permission Creep - Unintended privilege expansion

The paper outlines a group management lifecycle: creation, membership changes, owner assignment, permission changes, attestation, and deletion. Implementing this lifecycle mitigates risks and strengthens identity and access management.
