SaaS Permissions Governance

SaaS 權限治理

Overview | 概述

SaaS apps often grant far more privileges than users actually need, creating opportunities for abuse or accidental data exposure. This module covers how to use Falcon Shield to implement the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), detect permission drift, and enforce trimming policies.

SaaS 應用程式通常賦予使用者超過實際需要的權限,造成濫用或意外資料外洩的機會。本模組介紹如何使用 Falcon Shield 實施最小權限原則(PoLP)、偵測權限偏移,並執行權限精簡策略。


Understanding the Permissions Inventory | 瞭解權限清單

Every SaaS application has a unique permissions model and uses different terminology. Falcon Shield normalizes these different models into a unified view.

每個 SaaS 應用程式都有獨特的權限模型並使用不同的術語。Falcon Shield 將這些不同的模型標準化為統一的視圖。

Inventory Structure | 清單結構

Each row represents a role, profile, permission set, or security group reported by a SaaS integration.

每一列代表 SaaS 整合回報的角色、設定檔、權限集安全群組

TypeDescription類型說明
RolesRole, role group, exchange role group, eligible role, default role角色角色、角色群組、Exchange 角色群組、合格角色、預設角色
ProfilesUser profiles with object-level permissions (CRUD)設定檔具有物件級權限(CRUD)的使用者設定檔
Permission SetsAdditional permissions beyond default profile權限集超出預設設定檔的附加權限
Permission Set GroupsCombined permission sets for streamlined assignment權限集群組用於精簡分配的組合權限集

Permissions Side Bar | 權限側邊欄

Clicking any row opens the side bar with full details:

點擊任何一列會開啟側邊欄,顯示完整詳情:

  • ID, Created On, Last Modified, Created By — Metadata for each item

  • Users — List of users granted the permission

  • Permissions — Detailed breakdown of what the permission allows

  • Object Permissions — Application-specific object-level access (where available)

  • ID、建立日期、最後修改、建立者 — 每個項目的中繼資料

  • 使用者 — 被賦予權限的使用者清單

  • 權限 — 權限允許的詳細分類

  • 物件權限 — 應用程式特定的物件級存取(如適用)


Filters and Grouping | 篩選與分組

Filters | 篩選器

FilterPurpose篩選器用途
IntegrationNarrow to specific SaaS app整合篩選至特定 SaaS 應用程式
PermissionsFilter by specific permissions權限按特定權限篩選
Users CountFind roles with many users使用者數量尋找有大量使用者的角色
TypeFilter by role type類型按角色類型篩選
OriginFilter by permission origin來源按權限來源篩選

Grouping | 分組

Group by Type, Sub Type, or Origin to analyze permission patterns across your environment.

類型子類型來源分組,以分析環境中的權限模式。


Cross-Reference: Permissions ↔ Users | 交叉參考:權限 ↔ 使用者

The Permissions Inventory links to the Users Inventory. For example:

權限清單與使用者清單互相連結。例如:

  1. Find the M365 security group Compliance Management (Exchange) in the Permissions Inventory — it reports 2 users.

  2. Go to the Users Inventory, filter by Privileged Roles > M365 > Compliance Management — the same two users appear.

  3. 在權限清單中找到 M365 安全群組 Compliance Management (Exchange) — 回報 2 位使用者。

  4. 前往使用者清單,篩選 Privileged Roles > M365 > Compliance Management — 相同的兩位使用者會出現。


Scenario: Salesforce Permissions Review | 情境:Salesforce 權限審查

Step-by-Step | 逐步操作

Step 1 | 步驟 1: Review high-risk roles — Examine roles with many associated users. Do all assigned users genuinely need these permissions?

步驟 1: 審查高風險角色 — 檢視有大量關聯使用者的角色。所有被分配的使用者是否真正需要這些權限?

Step 2 | 步驟 2: Identify elevated privileges — Analyze custom profiles with elevated permissions. Verify if all assigned permissions are necessary.

步驟 2: 識別提升的權限 — 分析具有提升權限的自訂設定檔。驗證所有已分配的權限是否必要。

Step 3 | 步驟 3: Validate profile configurations — Ensure custom profiles comply with company policy.

步驟 3: 驗證設定檔配置 — 確保自訂設定檔符合公司政策。

Step 4 | 步驟 4: Create Security Checks — Monitor for new admin role assignments, changes to system permissions, custom profile creation, and permission set modifications.

步驟 4: 建立安全檢查 — 監控新的管理員角色分配、系統權限變更、自訂設定檔建立和權限集修改。


Scenario: Workday Segregation of Duties | 情境:Workday 職責分離

For organizations using Workday as a central HR system, Segregation of Duties (SOD) is essential for:

對於使用 Workday 作為中央人力資源系統的組織,職責分離(SOD)對於以下方面至關重要:

RiskConsequence風險後果
No SODOne person controls multiple financial processes無 SOD一人控制多個財務流程
Single approverIncreased fraud opportunity單一審核者增加欺詐機會
No SODFinancial misstatements can be concealed無 SOD財務報表錯誤可被隱藏
Inadequate SODAudit failures and qualified opinionsSOD 不足稽核失敗和保留意見

Best Practices | 最佳實踐

  1. Apply Principle of Least Privilege — Users should have only the minimum access needed for their job.

  2. Review permissions quarterly — Regularly audit roles, profiles, and permission sets.

  3. Monitor permission changes — Create security checks for new admin assignments and permission modifications.

  4. Enforce SOD — Ensure critical functions are divided among different users.

  5. Track eligible roles (PIM) — Monitor time-based and approval-based role activation.

  6. 實施最小權限原則 — 使用者僅應拥有工作所需的最低存取權。

  7. 每季審查權限 — 定期稽核角色、設定檔和權限集。

  8. 監控權限變更 — 為新的管理員分配和權限修改建立安全檢查。

  9. 強制職責分離 — 確保關鍵功能由不同使用者分工。

  10. 追蹤合格角色(PIM) — 監控基於時間和審批的角色啟用。
