GDAP Permissions

Hvordan får Ironstone tilgang inn til kundene sine?

Ironstone bruker Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP) for å få tilgang inn til alle kunder. GDAP fungerer slik at vi forespør tillatelse fra kundene våre til å tildele et bestemt sett med Azure AD-roller som deretter er mulig å gi til Ironstone's brukere eller grupper gjennom Microsoft Partner Center. Deretter kan vi sette opp mer detaljerte tilganger, istedenfor å ha mer omfattende roller som Global Admin aktivert hele tiden. På denne måten kan vi for eksempel begrense tilgangen for vårt supportteam til kun de rollene de vanligvis trenger. Skulle det være behov for ytterligere tilganger for supportteamet, kan de tildeles den nødvendige rollen for en bestemt tidsperiode før tilgangen fjernes fra brukeren igjen.

Hvert team hos Ironstone har kun tilgang til et gitt antall roller, og det er ingen person som har tilgang til Global Admin-rollen.

Hvorfor tar dere så mange roller?

Å kunne ta flere mindre roller istedenfor færre og mer omfattende roller, som Global Admin, er å følge "Principle of Least Privilege". Alle Cloud Solution Partners (CSP:er) er pålagt å følge "Principle of Least Privilege" for å opprettholde avtalen med Microsoft.

Slik benevnes dette i CSP-avtalen:

“Company shall follow the "principle of least privilege" and obtain the minimum level of access necessary to perform requested Customer administrative tasks. Microsoft reserves the right to terminate or reduce Company’s administrative access privileges if Microsoft reasonably determines that Company is not actively managing Customer administrative tasks or has an unnecessary level of administrative permissions.”

Hvorfor trenger dere Global Admin rollen hvis ingen person har den?

Det er mange ting som ikke er mulig å gjøre uten Global Admin. Så hvis vi ikke har noen måte for å elevere oss til denne rollen så er det ikke mulig å yte support på alt som kommer inn fra kundene våre. Noen eksempler på hva som kun er mulig å gjøre hvis du har Global Admin er vedlagt under. Hvis du ønsker å lese mer så kan du gjøre det på Microsoft Doc her.

Creating B2C applications and configuring B2B external collaboration settings.
Configuring company branding and company properties.
Managing tasks related to pass-through authentication and seamless single sign-on (SSO).
Managing user settings for enterprise applications
Installation of Azure AD Connect and managing object synchronization with on-premises directories.
Managing security and compliance, including setting retention policies under Data Governance

Hvordan eleverer dere er til Global Admin hvis det ikke er noen brukere som blir gitt denne rollen?
Det er kun en PowerApp som har denne tilgangen hos oss. Løsningen brukes for å lage temporære brukere med Global Admin inne hos våre kunder. Løsningen sletter automatisk brukeren når tiden har gått ut. Alle som benytter løsningen må oppgi en grunn til at de trenger tilgangen slik vi enkelt kan finne hensikten hvis kunden ønsker mer innsikt.

Hvordan forsikrer dere er om at ingen tar Global Admin allikevel?
Vi overvåker gruppene som styrer dette i Azure AD. Hvis noen endrer på grupper eller oppsett så går en kritisk alarm til vår vakt som jobber 24/7 og 365 dager i året. Vakten har en svartid på 30 minutter. Vi sperrer deretter omgående brukerne og undersøker dette som en kritisk sikkerhetshendelse.

Kan dere beskrive hvordan dere får tilgang til kundenes systemer ved en supporthenvendelse som ikke krever Global Admin?

Når Ironstone mottar en supporthenvendelse, må konsulenten først aktivere tilgang til kundens miljø. For å gjøre dette, autentiserer konsulenten seg med MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) før han eller hun velger hvilken kunde og hvilken type tilgang som trengs for å utføre oppgaven. På denne måten kan vi begrense tilgangen til en spesifikk kunde, i stedet for å ha tilgang til alle kunder samtidig. Tilgangen til kundens miljø er tidsbegrenset og fjernes deretter automatisk fra konsulentens brukerkonto.

Er det mulig å velge bort roller som vi ikke ønsker at Ironstone skal ha?
Ja det er mulig. Men hvis dere gjør dette vil det medføre at det tar lenger tid å supportere henvendelser som trenger en av de rollene som dere har valgt å fjerne. For å supportere dere i en slik hendelse så må vi først få dere til å lage en bruker internt og sen gi denne brukeren korrekt roller før vi kan påbegynne arbeidet.
