π‘οΈπ§βπΌβοΈπGroup - Break the Glass solution
What this group is forβ
This is a dynamic security group created to contain your last-resort admin account.
The one you hope to never use β but also hope actually works when you need it.
It's used in combination with:
If you're in this group:
β
You are excluded from baseline CA policies
β

π Membership Governanceβ
This group is managed by rule, not by hand.
- Accounts must be provisioned with a predictable UPN
- Membership syncs automatically across tenants (via SuperVision)
- Every environment should track this group and validate it regularly
This isn't just another admin group. This one gets you in when nothing else works.
π§ Final Noteβ
This group bypasses all protections β intentionally.
But with that comes responsibility.
πΈοΈ "With great exclusions come great consequences."
So:
- Monitor this group
- Document why it exists
- Donβt forget it exists
Because one day you might need it.
And if it doesn't work... well, let's not get terminated.
