Scheduling identity access reviews

2025-12-16Last updated

To ensure security compliance and audit readiness, you can set up identity access reviews to occur at scheduled intervals. These identity access reviews are performed based on a list of selected roles.

Before you begin

  • Make sure that the roles to be reviewed have already been defined.
  • Make sure that all the required identities have been associated with the correct roles.

What you should know

  • Only an Account administrator can schedule identity access reviews.
  • You can schedule up to five identity access reviews at a time, and each review can include a maximum of 20 roles.
Best Practice:
Schedule your identity access reviews so that they are automatically triggered before corporate audits or site safety checks to ensure your security compliance and audit readiness.

Procedure

  1. From the homepage, click Organization > Access reviews .
  2. Click Schedule access review.
  3. In the Select review type dialog, select Identity access review.
  4. In the Identity access review configuration dialog, enter a name for your identity access review.
    You might enter Contractor access review for electricians or Data center identity access review for your direct reports that need access to a data center.
  5. Search for and select the Roles that you want to include in your identity access review.
    Identity access reviews will be generated for all active and inactive identities in that role. Inactive identities are identified in the review.

    1. Select the day and month that you want the identity access review scheduled.
    2. Select a time for the review.

    All scheduled review times use the time zone of the site.
