TAP Issuance to Privileged Accounts via Microsoft Graph temporaryAccessPassMethods
This rule detects the creation of Temporary Access Passes (TAPs) via the Microsoft Graph API targeting highly privileged accounts. This activity could indicate an attacker abusing a service principal with UserAuthMethod-TAP.ReadWrite.All permissions to gain temporary access to critical accounts like Global Administrators, Privileged Role Administrators, or Security Administrators. The rule specifically looks for POST requests to the 'temporaryAccessPassMethods' endpoint in Microsoft Graph Activity Logs and correlates this with IdentityInfo to identify if the target user holds a privileged role.
