Description

Ensure that all Global Administrators are notified if any other administrator resets their password.

Rationale

Global Administrator accounts are sensitive. Password reset activity notifications, when sent to all Global Administrators, allow administrators to confirm whether a reset is part of a normal pattern. For example, if all Global Administrators change their passwords every 30 days, any password reset activity before that may require administrators to evaluate unusual activity and confirm its origin.

Impact

All Global Administrators will receive a notification from Azure every time a password is reset. This is useful for auditing procedures to confirm that there are no out of the ordinary password resets for Global Administrators. There is additional overhead, however, in the time required for Global Administrators to audit the notifications. This setting is only useful if all Global Administrators pay attention to the notifications, and audit each one.
