Uniqkey - Self-granted privilege or access change
Description
Identifies privilege, sharing or group-membership changes in Uniqkey where the actor and the target of the change are the same person. In a healthy administrative process, access changes are made by a different administrator, so a self-referential grant is a strong indicator of insider privilege escalation or a compromised administrator account expanding its own reach.
