Id	50574fac-f8d1-4395-81c7-78a463ff0c52
Rulename	Microsoft Entra ID PowerShell accessing non-Entra ID resources
Description	This will alert when a user or application signs in using Microsoft Entra ID PowerShell to access non-Active Directory resources, such as the Azure Key Vault, which may be undesired or unauthorized behavior. For capabilities and expected behavior of the Microsoft Entra ID PowerShell module, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/azuread/?view=azureadps-2.0. For further information on Microsoft Entra ID Signin activity reports, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/concept-sign-ins.
