### Investigating Anthropic Organization Member and Group Enumeration

One email performed at least two distinct discovery actions among `org_users_listed`, `org_members_exported`, and
`group_list_viewed` in a short window — reconnaissance of who is in the tenant.

Escalate when scripting UA, follow-on invites/role grants/SSO changes/exports appear, or the actor is not an identity
admin. Close as FP for scheduled access reviews or onboarding console browsing with a ticket.

#### Possible investigation steps

- Read `Esql.event_action_values` to see which discovery actions combined; all three in one window is stronger than
  two.
- Inspect IP/UA/actor type for automation or unfamiliar clients.
- Pivot the same actor/org for follow-on admin or project role grants, invites, SSO changes, or data exports.
- Note: some `org_members_exported` without user email (e.g. certain `anthropic_actor` cases) are out of scope.

### False positive analysis

- Membership exports during access reviews commonly combine two of these actions briefly.

### Response and remediation

- On unauthorized recon: revoke sessions, review recent role and invite changes, and tighten least privilege on
  identity read actions where possible.
