Entra ID has a built-in role called “Partner Tier2 Support” that enables escalation to Global Admin, but this role is hidden from view in the Azure portal GUI.

Why it matters


  • An adversary may target the “Partner Tier2 Support” role to maintain stealthy, privileged persistence in an Entra ID tenant

  • Since the Azure portal GUI obscures this role, it can be challenging for Azure admins and security professionals to audit assignments for this role
