Sentinel - KQL Query for combining

Hello,

 

I'm trying to figure out what's the best way of addressing an issue I have. I have an analytic rule. Some users are whitelisted in the rule. What I need to do is whitelist users what will be only logging to specific servers. 

For example (just a random table)

 

XXXXXX

| where user != john and computer != xxxxx1 (I don't want to see an alert if John logs into xxxxx1) but if John logs into xxxxx2, then I do want to see an alert for that)

| where user != anna and computer != xxxxx2 (same as above)

 

I do want to track those users logging into other servers but not the ones that they are supposed to be logging into.  Is there a way of doing this?

    There could be a few ways of doing this, I'd go for a Watchlist if you need to make this scale, but as a quick demo I used a DataTable in the query (which works but you have to keep updating/releasing the Rule if you make changes). 
    Essentially you provide a UserName and a list of allowedServers in the Table or Watchlist.

    let allowedServers =datatable(UserPrincipalName:string, ApprovedComputer:string)
    [
    "email address removed for privacy reasons","KQL1",
    "email address removed for privacy reasons","KQL2"
    ];
    // left Table
    allowedServers
    | join kind=inner  
        (
            //right Table
            SigninLogs
            | where DeviceDetail.operatingSystem =~ "Windows"
            | extend deviceId_ = tostring(DeviceDetail.displayName)
        ) on UserPrincipalName
    // is it an allowed Device?    
    | where ApprovedComputer != deviceId_
    | project UserPrincipalName, deviceId_, ApprovedComputer
