 As part of the integration, each onboarded Azure subscription, AWS account, and GCP project give you a view of your [Permission Creep Index (PCI)](../active-directory/cloud-infrastructure-entitlement-management/ui-dashboard.md). The PCI is an aggregated metric that periodically evaluates the level of risk associated with the number of unused or excessive permissions across identities and resources. PCI measures how risky identities can potentially be, based on the permissions available to them.
