least privilege auditing

Least privilege auditing is a security practice that ensures users, applications, and automated agents have only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their tasks, with all access activities logged and reviewed. On WindowsForum.com, discussions highlight how this principle applies to modern environments like Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, where runtime credentials and access policies must be enforced and audited to prevent over-privileged access. The tag covers topics such as enforcing least-privilege policies, auditing agent connections to enterprise resources, and managing identity governance for workloads that traditional access models were not designed to handle. These conversations reflect the growing need to integrate least privilege auditing into identity and access management strategies for both human users and non-human entities.
