The attack ended when security teams were able to terminate user access, although data which had already been downloaded remained in the threat actor's hands.

SaaS user permissions allow app owners to limit a user's resources and actions based on the user's role.

As business users rather than security professionals, they don't always recognize the degree of risk in granting those access permissions.

User permissions help define the exposed data in the event of a breach.
