Checking the status of access reviews

2025-12-16Last updated

Site owners can check the status of access reviews to ensure that the organization is security-compliant, audit-ready, and that the review processes occur on time. Supervisors can also check the status of identity access reviews for their direct reports, and Role owners can check the status of reviews for the roles they own.

What you should know

  • Only a Site owner can view the complete access reviews report to check the status or progress of an area or role access review for their site.
  • An Area manager or Role manager only sees their reviews in the My access reviews version of the report.
  • A Site owner who is not an Area owner or manager, or a Role owner or manager does not see any access reviews in My tasks.
