Control: Azure > CIS v5.0 > 5 - Identity Services > 5.27 - Ensure there are between 2 and 3 subscription owners

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

The Owner role in Azure grants full control over all resources in a subscription, including the ability to assign roles to others.

Limit the number of security principals (users, groups, service principals, and managed identities) assigned the Owner role to between 2 and 3. If groups are used, ensure their membership is tightly controlled and regularly reviewed to avoid privilege sprawl.
