Adversaries may attempt to discover group and permission settings. This information can help adversaries determine which user accounts and groups are available, the membership of users in particular groups, and which users and groups have elevated permissions.
Adversaries may attempt to discover group permission settings in many different ways. This data may provide the adversary with information about the compromised environment that can be used in follow-on activity and targeting.(Citation: CrowdStrike BloodHound April 2018)

Comments
Group permissions and settings are inherited using the IAM roles that are specifically granted to that group by admins. This control provides protection of possible adversaries that may determine which user accounts and groups memberships are available in cloud accounts. Received a score of Minimal because it only covers one of the sub-techniques.
