What it checks
Domain-wide delegation allows service accounts to impersonate any user and access their data. Unauthorized or overly permissive grants represent a critical security risk
Recommended value
Minimal domain-wide delegation grants with scoped permissions; all grants reviewed and approved
Remediation
Admin Console > Security > API controls > Domain-wide delegation > Review all grants, remove unnecessary ones, and restrict scopes to minimum required

|---|---|
| clean | PASS |
