User added to sensitive group
Description
In order to gain high priviliges an adversary can add themselfs to groups with high priviliges. Those priviliges allow the adversary to perform almost every action in your environment. This query is currently only used to detect three different sensitive groups, however other (custom) groups can be added to the list with sensitive groups.
A false positive would be a account that is legitimately added to the sensitive group.
