Ensure 'Notify all admins when other admins reset their password?' is set to 'Yes'

Ensure that all Global Administrators are notified if any other administrator resets their password.

Rationale

Global Administrator accounts are sensitive. Any password reset activity notification, when sent to all Global Administrators, ensures that all Global administrators can passively confirm if such a reset is a common pattern within their group. For example, if all Global Administrators change their password every 30 days, any password reset activity before that may require administrator(s) to evaluate any unusual activity and confirm its origin.

Impact

All Global Administrators will receive a notification from Azure every time a password is reset. This is useful for auditing procedures to confirm that there are no out-of-the-ordinary password resets for Global Administrators. However, there is additional overhead in the time required for Global Administrators to audit the notifications. This setting is only useful if all Global Administrators pay attention to the notifications and audit each one.

Default Value

By default, Notify all admins when other admins reset their password? is set to "No".

Manual Audit

There is no customer-facing API available to check the Password Reset Policy. Please refer to the Remediation tab. After you ensure the setting is correctly set, exempt the corresponding asset.

If you need this checked automatically (it would make sense if you have multiple Entra ID tenants with multiple administrators who might change settings) and are willing to provide additional permissions, reach out to your Cyscale contact person.
