Detection logic

Condition

name eq "change_calendar_acls"
parameters.grantee_email eq "__public_principal__@public.calendar.google.com"

Indicators

Each row is a field, operator, and value that the rule matches. The corpus column counts how many other rules in the catalog look for the same combination: high numbers point to widely-used, community-vetted indicators. Blank or 1 shows that the indicator is specific to this rule.

FieldKindValues
nameeq
  • change_calendar_acls
parameters.grantee_emaileq
  • __public_principal__@public.calendar.google.com

Output fields

Fields the rule emits when it matches. Chronicle authors list these in the outcome block; they appear on the detection and $risk_score drives alerting. Sentinel / Defender XDR rules build them up through project / summarize / extend stages. Sentinel maps these into alert fields via entityMappings and customDetails; Defender XDR custom detections surface them as alert fields directly.
