<p>Monitor for unauthorized or unusual modifications to cloud resource hierarchies such as AWS Organizations or Azure Management Groups. Defenders may observe anomalous calls to APIs like
LeaveOrganization, CreateAccount, MoveAccount, or Azure subscription transfers. Correlate account activity with administrative role assignments, tenant transfers, or new subscription creation that deviates from organizational baselines. Multi-event correlation should track role elevation followed by hierarchy modifications within a short time window.</p>- Detects

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| AWS:CloudTrail | LeaveOrganization: API calls severing accounts from AWS Organizations | DC0069 Cloud Service Modification |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
TimeWindow | Threshold for correlating role elevation with hierarchy modification events. |
PrivilegedRoleList | List of high-privilege roles (e.g., Global Administrator, OrganizationAccountAccessRole) used to monitor sensitive modifications. |
SubscriptionTransferPatterns | Patterns of subscription changes that may indicate hijacking or unauthorized tenant transfers. |
