Monitor Azure RBAC access and offboarding
Continuous visibility into the role assignments, subscriptions, resource groups, and service principals across your Azure environment — including the privileged access nobody remembered to remove.
Your Azure environment is where your cloud resources actually live, and access to it accumulates faster than anyone reviews it. Engineers are granted Contributor on a resource group for a quick fix, service principals are created for automation and forgotten, and an Owner assignment made at the subscription scope quietly applies to every resource beneath it. Each grant made sense at the time. Together they become a privilege surface nobody can describe from memory.
The default Azure experience makes this worse. RBAC is inherited from management groups down through subscriptions and resource groups, assignments live in the access-control blade of each scope, and service principals and guests are mixed in with employees. To answer a simple question — who can administer this subscription, and should they? — you'd click through access control scope by scope and still miss the Owner assignment inherited from a management group above.
Outpost replaces that with a single, continuously-synced inventory. It reads your environment through a read-only role — Reader plus Security Reader — and surfaces every role assignment and the principal behind it, every subscription and resource group, and the service principals and guests holding access. You can finally see your whole environment's access in one place and search it like the asset it is.
Catch Azure access that outlives employment
The most dangerous Azure access is the access that should already be gone. An employee leaves, HR closes their accounts, but their role assignments — and the resource access that came with them — quietly survive. Guest identities are worse still: an external collaborator added to one subscription isn't tied to any offboarding checklist at all.
Outpost is built around catching exactly this. Because it links each Azure role assignment back to the principal behind it, the moment someone is marked as departed, their lingering Owner and Contributor assignments across subscriptions and resource groups surface for review. You don't have to remember that the contractor still has Contributor on the production subscription — Outpost remembers for you.
That's the difference between hoping offboarding was complete and proving it. Outpost turns "who can still reach our Azure?" from a manual audit nobody has time for into a question you can answer continuously.
What Outpost detects
Everything we surface from your Azure workspace.
Role assignments and RBAC
Outpost syncs every Azure RBAC role assignment across your subscriptions and resource groups, surfacing exactly who holds Owner or Contributor over your cloud resources.
Subscriptions and management groups
Outpost inventories your subscriptions and the management-group hierarchy above them, so account-level access and structure are visible in one place.
Service principals and guest access
Outpost surfaces service principals with resource access and external guest identities holding role assignments, so non-human and outside access can't quietly persist.
Assets we track
Outpost creates and maintains these asset types from your Azure data.
How it works
1
Connect
Grant Outpost a read-only role — Reader plus Security Reader — at the management-group or subscription scope. Outpost only ever reads; it never changes assignments, resources, or data.
2
Discover
Outpost inventories your subscriptions, resource groups, role assignments, and the principals behind them, and creates assets you can search, filter, and review in one place.
3
Monitor
Role assignments and subscription posture are re-synced continuously, so new Owner and Contributor grants are tracked over time.
4
Offboard
When an employee leaves, Outpost links their identity to the Azure role assignments they still hold, so lingering Owner and Contributor access surfaces instead of sitting unnoticed.
Frequently asked questions
Connect your Azure environment to Outpost and it inventories every RBAC role assignment across your subscriptions and resource groups, mapped to the principal behind it. Instead of checking access control per subscription, you get one searchable view of who holds Owner, Contributor, or Reader.
Outpost continuously syncs your Azure role assignments and links each to the person behind it. When someone is offboarded, their lingering Owner and Contributor assignments across subscriptions and resource groups are flagged for review, so privileged access doesn't outlive their employment.
The Azure integration governs access to your cloud resources — subscriptions, resource groups, and RBAC role assignments. The Entra ID integration governs the directory itself — users, groups, and sign-in posture. Connect both for end-to-end visibility from identity to resource.
