Michael has encountered a situation where he has been granted more access than necessary to perform his new job. Plainly the sysdadmin has copied the wrong template/hes in the wrong OU and has excessive privileges.
Privilege creep (note the word creep) refers to the gradual accumulation of access rights over time, usually as an employee's role changes. its close though Michael has encountered excessive privileges right away, not over time.
C. Privilege creep: This term specifically refers to the gradual accumulation of access rights and permissions over time, often when users change roles and retain their old permissions. This can lead to excessive privileges and security risks.
