Description

Users who are set as subscription owners are able to make administrative changes to the subscriptions and move them into and out of Microsoft Entra ID.

Rationale

Permissions to move subscriptions in and out of Microsoft Entra ID directory must only be given to appropriate administrative personnel. A subscription that is moved into a Microsoft Entra ID directory may be within a folder to which other users have elevated permissions. This helps prevent loss of data or unapproved changes to objects by potential bad actors.

Impact

Subscriptions will need to have these settings turned off to be moved.
