    By default, Compute feature-specific minimalist permissions are added to all CloudFormation Templates for AWS, Azure and GCP accounts onboarded to Prisma Cloud. The following two onboarding modes define these permissions:
    Monitor
     and
    Monitor & Protect
    .
    Large scale deployments require you to manage the number of accounts that you onboard to ensure the number of accounts remains within the workload scanning thresholds. The threshold to ensure Prisma Cloud scans all workloads in your accounts is 5000 accounts. You can manage your accounts under
    Compute > Manage > Cloud Accounts
    . You must delete any accounts you don’t want to scan to remain below the threshold.

    Cloud Account Permission Status

    Currently, cloud account status checks don’t take Prisma Cloud Compute permissions into account. They remain green even if Prisma Cloud Compute permissions are missing in order to accommodate Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) users who do not use Prisma Cloud Compute functionalities. For them, changing the account permissions status could cause confusion.
    Contact support to request enablement of status checks on your tenant.
