AzGovViz - Azure Governance Visualizer

Do you want to get granular insights on your technical Azure Governance implementation? - document it in CSV, HTML, Markdown and JSON?
AzGovViz is a PowerShell based script that iterates your Azure Tenant´s Management Group hierarchy down to Subscription level. It captures most relevant Azure governance capabilities such as Azure Policy, RBAC and Blueprints and a lot more. From the collected data AzGovViz provides visibility on your HierarchyMap, creates a TenantSummary, creates DefinitionInsights and builds granular ScopeInsights on Management Groups and Subscriptions. The technical requirements as well as the required permissions are minimal.

You can run the script either for your Tenant Root Group or any other Management Group.

Mission

"Governance can be a complex thing.."

Challenges:

Holistic overview on governance implementation
Connecting the dots

AzGovViz is intended to help you to get a holistic overview on your technical Azure Governance implementation by connecting the dots

Scenario	Permissions
ANY Console / Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions ..	Reader Role assignment on Management Group

Required permissions in Azure Active Directory

Scenario

Permissions

A
Console | Member user account

No AAD permissions required

B
Console | Guest user account

If the tenant is hardened (AAD External Identities / Guest user access = most restrictive) then Guest User must be assigned the AAD Role 'Directory readers'
💡 Compare member and guest default permissions
💡 Restrict Guest permissions

C
Console | Service Principal | Managed Identity

Capability	API Permissions
Get AAD Users	Service Principal's App registration grant with Microsoft Graph permissions: Application permissions / User / User.Read.All 💡 Get user
Get AAD Groups	Service Principal's App registration grant with Microsoft Graph permissions: Application permissions / Group / Group.Read.All 💡 Get group
Get AAD SP/App	Service Principal's App registration grant with Microsoft Graph permissions: Application permissions / Application / Application.Read.All 💡 Get servicePrincipal, Get application

Optional: AAD Role 'Directory readers' could be used instead of API permissions (more 'read' than required)

D

PowerShell

Requires PowerShell 7 (minimum supported version 7.0.3)
Requires PowerShell Az Modules
- Az.Accounts
- ~~Az.Resources~~
- ~~Az.ResourceGraph~~
- Install the Azure Az PowerShell module
Requires PowerShell Module 'AzAPICall'.
Running in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions the AzAPICall PowerShell module will be installed automatically.
AzAPICall resources:
- GitHub Repository
Usage/command
- .\AzGovVizParallel.ps1 -ManagementGroupId <your-Management-Group-Id>

Parameters

-ManagementGroupId Management Group Id (Root Management Group Id equals your Tenant Id)
-CsvDelimiter - The world is split into two kinds of delimiters - comma and semicolon - choose yours (default is semicolon ';')
-OutputPath
~~-AzureDevOpsWikiAsCode - Use this parameter only when running AzGovViz in a Azure DevOps Pipeline~~ Based on environment variables the script will detect the code run platform
-DoNotShowRoleAssignmentsUserData - Scrub personally identifiable information (PII)
-LimitCriticalPercentage - Limit warning level, default is 80%
~~-HierarchyTreeOnly~~ -HierarchyMapOnly - Output only the HierarchyMap for Management Groups including linked Subscriptions
-SubscriptionQuotaIdWhitelist - Process only Subscriptions with defined QuotaId(s). Example: .\AzGovVizParallel.ps1 -SubscriptionQuotaIdWhitelist MSDN_,Enterprise_
-NoResourceProvidersDetailed - Disables output for ResourceProvider states for all Subscriptions in the TenantSummary section, in large Tenants this can become time consuming
-NoMDfCSecureScore - Disables Microsoft Defender for Cloud Secure Score request for Subscriptions and Management Groups.
~~-DisablePolicyComplianceStates~~ -NoPolicyComplianceStates - Will not query policy compliance states. You may want to use this parameter to accellerate script execution or when receiving error 'ResponseTooLarge'.
-NoResourceDiagnosticsPolicyLifecycle - Disables Resource Diagnostics Policy Lifecycle recommendations
-NoAADGroupsResolveMembers - Disables resolving Azure Active Directory Group memberships
~~-NoAADGuestUsers - Disables resolving Azure Active Directory User type (Guest or Member)~~

Using this parameter the following parameters will be set: -PolicyAtScopeOnly $true, -RBACAtScopeOnly $true, -NoResourceProvidersDetailed $true, -NoScopeInsights $true
-HtmlTableRowsLimit - Although the parameter -LargeTenant was introduced recently, still the html output may become too large to be processed properly. The new parameter defines the limit of rows - if for the html processing part the limit is reached then the html table will not be created (csv and json output will still be created). Default rows limit is 20.000
-AADGroupMembersLimit - Defines the limit (default=500) of AAD Group members; For AAD Groups that have more members than the defined limit Group members will not be resolved
-NoResources - Will speed up the processing time but information like Resource diagnostics capability, resource type stats, UserAssigned Identities assigned to Resources is excluded (featured for large tenants)

Integrate with AzOps

Did you know you can run AzOps from Azure DevOps? Check AzOps Accellerator.
You can integrate AzGovViz (same project as AzOps).

  pipelines:
    - pipeline: 'Push'
      source: 'AzOps - Push'
      trigger:
        branches:
          include:
            - master

Stats

In order to better understand the AzGovViz usage and to optimize the product accordingly some stats will be ingested to Azure Application Insights. Results of stats analysis may be shared at a later stage.

How/What?

If the script is run in Azure DevOps then the Repository Id and executing principal´s object Id will be used to create an unique identifier.
If the script is not run in Azure DevOps then the Tenant Id and executing principal´s object Id will be used to create an unique identifier.

SHA384/512 hashed combination of

portion of the repositoryId/tenantId
- if repositoryId/tenantId startsWith a letter then use characters 3-8 (6 characters) of the first GUID´s block, combine them with the third GUID`s block of the principal´s objectId (4 characters), SHA512 hash them as identifier0
- if repositoryId/tenantId startsWith a number then use characters 7-12 (6 characters) of the last GUID`s block, combine them with the second GUID´s block of the principal´s objectId (4 characters), SHA384 hash them as identifier0
portion of the executing principal´s objectId
- if objectId startsWith a letter then use characters 3-8 (6 characters) of the first GUID´ block, combine them with the third GUID´ block of the repositoryId/tenantId (4 characters), SHA512 hash them as identifier1
- if objectId startsWith a number then use characters 7-12 (6 characters) of the last GUID´ block, combine them with the second GUID´ block of the repositoryId/tenantId (4 characters), SHA384 hash them as identifier1

Combine identifier0 and identifier1

if objectId startsWith a letter then combine identifiers -> 'identifier0 + identifier1', SHA512 hash them as final identifier and remove dashes (string of 128 characters)
if objectId startsWith a number then combine identifiers -> 'identifier1 + identifier0', SHA512 hash them as final identifier and remove dashes (string of 128 characters)

To conclude the approach: taking 6 or 4 characters from tenantId/respositoryId and objectId of the executing principal to create a unique identifier, which may not be backward resolveable.

The following data will be ingested to Azure Application Insights:

    "accType": "ServicePrincipal / User (member) / User (Guest)",
    "azCloud": "Azure environment e.g. AzureCloud, ChinaCloud, etc.",
    "identifier": "8c62a7..53d08c0 (string of 128 characters)",
    "platform": "Console / AzureDevOps",
    "productVersion": "used AzGovViz version",
    "psAzAccountsVersion": "used Az.Accounts PS module version",
    "psVersion": "used PowerShell version",
    "scopeUsage": "childManagementGroup / rootManagementGroup",
    "statsCountErrors": "count of encountered errors",
    "statsCountSubscriptions": "less than 100 / more than 100 (no exact numbers)",
    "statsParametersDoNotIncludeResourceGroupsAndResourcesOnRBAC": "true / false",

    "statsParametersPolicyAtScopeOnly": "true / false",
    "statsParametersRBACAtScopeOnly": "true / false",
    "statsTry": "count of try sending to Application Insights"

If you do not want to contribute to stats for AzGovViz then you can use the parameter:
-StatsOptOut

If you have any concerns or see a risk sending stats please file an issue.

Thank you for your support!

Security

AzGovViz creates very detailed information about your Azure Governance setup. In your organization's best interest the outputs should be protected from not authorized access!

Known issues

Working with Git and Windows cloning from your AzDO repository you may experience the following error:

fatal: cannot create directory at 'output/JSON_...': Filename too long

To work around that issue you may want to enable longpaths support.
Note the caveats!

git config --system core.longpaths true

Facts

Disabled Subscriptions and Subscriptions where Quota Id starts with with "AAD_" are being skipped, all others are queried. More information on Subscription Quota Id / Offer numbers: Supported Microsoft Azure offers.

ARM Limits are not acquired programmatically, these are hardcoded. The links used to check related limits are commented in the param section of the script.
