Excessive Group Membership Review
Detect users assigned to an excessive number of groups or to high-risk groups outside their approved baseline, and generate findings with suggested remediation actions.
Requires a Nuxari account. Installs as Draft — no changes until you enable it.
Back to templatesWhat this template does
This automation job collects group membership data across connected identity systems and evaluates each user against their approved access baseline. It flags users who belong to an excessive number of groups relative to their role, as well as users in designated high-risk groups outside their baseline. Each finding includes the group context and a suggested remediation action.
When to use it
Use this template when access sprawl through group membership is a concern — users accumulating group assignments over time that exceed what their role requires. It is especially valuable ahead of least-privilege reviews and access recertification campaigns.
How it works
Membership collection
Nuxari collects group membership data for each user across connected identity systems.
Baseline comparison
Each user's memberships are compared against their approved baseline and against high-risk group designations.
Outlier detection
Users with excessive group counts or high-risk memberships outside their baseline surface as findings.
Remediation suggestion
Each finding includes a suggested remediation action, ready to route into an approval-gated removal workflow.
What gets created in your tenant
Group Membership Analyzer
A job that evaluates group memberships against approved baselines and high-risk designations.
Excessive Membership Findings
A findings queue populated by excessive or high-risk group memberships.
Membership Review Evidence
Structured evidence records capturing membership state, baseline comparison, and findings.
What evidence it produces
- Group membership inventory per user
- Excessive membership findings with baseline comparison
- High-risk group assignment findings
- Suggested remediation list per finding
Safety and approval model
Templates install as Draft / Disabled by default. No actions run until you explicitly enable the template after reviewing the configuration.
This template installs in Draft state and is read-only — it analyzes group membership but never removes any assignment. No scans run until you connect the required connectors and explicitly enable the job. Remediation of findings is handled through a separate approval-gated removal workflow.
Customization options
- Excessive membership threshold per role
- High-risk group designations
- Baseline source (manual or identity system import)
- Connector scope (which systems are analyzed)
- Scan frequency (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Notification routing for high-risk findings
