Detection logic
Fires when at least one $cloudtrail event.
Events
$cloudtrail
metadata.product_event_type = "CreateSAMLProvider" or "UpdateSAMLProvider" or "DeleteSAMLProvider"security_result.action = "ALLOW"
Outcome
Fields the detection emits on a match. $risk_score drives alerting; Chronicle surfaces the rest on the detection.
