Verifies the Hybrid user accounts with permanent high privileged roles condition in the customer's Microsoft 365 tenant. This check is sourced from the Maester test MT.1026; see the Maester test reference for the full test logic.

Why:

Global Administrator (and other privileged groups) accounts should be cloud-only accounts with no ties to on-premises Active Directory.
