Ensure there are at least two subscription owners designated for your Microsoft Azure account subscription in order to provide administrator access redundancy.
This rule resolution is part of the Conformity Security & Compliance tool for Azure.
To manage access to your Azure cloud resources, you must have the appropriate administrator role. For access redundancy, a minimum number of two owners should be assigned to a Microsoft Azure subscription. To make a user an owner of an Azure subscription, an existing administrator assigns them the Owner role at the subscription level. The Owner role gives the user full access to all Azure resources available within the subscription, including the right to delegate access to other users.
