Description:
Verifies that non-admin users are prevented from creating new Microsoft Entra tenants. Tenant creation grants the creator Global Administrator rights in the new tenant, outside the organization's governance.
Why:
CIS M365 Foundations Benchmark v6 §5.1.2.3 (L1) requires restricting non-admin users from creating Microsoft Entra tenants. Tenant creation gives the creator Global Administrator rights in the new tenant and does not inherit the customer's existing security configuration.
Configured: Non-admin users are restricted from creating Microsoft Entra tenants.
Not Configured: Non-admin users can create Microsoft Entra tenants.
Scoring: Contributes up to 1 point to the Posture Recommendations score.
