Interpretation of the Log
- What Happened: A partner-specific cross-tenant access policy was deleted for the external tenant b4c546a4-7dac-46a6-a7dd-ed822a11efd3. The home tenant (where the log was generated) is 80002dae-06b4-411a-b24b-1630a9a5365b.
- Initiator: The action was performed by the “EntraGDAP” application. GDAP (Granular Delegated Admin Privileges) is a Microsoft security feature for partners, enabling least-privileged, time-bound access to customer tenants following Zero Trust principles. “EntraGDAP” appears to be an internal app name used for managing these privileges in Microsoft Entra ID.
- Deleted Tenant Context: The tenant ID b4c546a4-7dac-46a6-a7dd-ed822a11efd3 is associated with Microsoft’s support infrastructure, specifically the “Office365ConciergeSupport.onmicrosoft.com” domain (a concierge/support tenant used for customer assistance). This suggests the deletion revoked access for Microsoft support engineers, likely as part of closing a support case.
- Why This Occurs: When a Microsoft 365 support case is created, temporary cross-tenant access is granted to Microsoft engineers for diagnostics. Upon case closure (or after 30 days), access is automatically revoked, logging this exact activity type initiated by EntraGDAP. This is a standard, non-suspicious operation unless unexpected in your environment (e.g., no recent support cases).
