Managing access via a resource group helps to ensure that you're using Microsoft Sentinel efficiently without potentially issuing improper permissions. Without a resource group for Microsoft Sentinel, where resources are scattered among multiple resource groups, a user or service principal may find themselves unable to perform a required action or view data due to insufficient permissions.
