Reviewing Usage Data

When Access Risk Management has successfully collected data on how access was used, Reviewers will receive an email notification to begin their review. Reviewers will use the Reviewer Dashboard to view the Requestor's actions, leave comments, and decide to Accept or Contest the usage.

Reviewers can access the Reviewer Dashboard by selecting View Request in the review email notification or selecting the Review tab in the EAM Dashboard, expanding the Actions menu next to the request, and selecting Perform Review.

The Reviewer Dashboard displays the review state as well the Request Details and Change Details, which include information about the request and actions taken.

  • Report Metadata is information about the report provided to the Reviewer, such as the counts of Utilization Data and Change Logs, as well as the times the report generation began and completed.

  • Key Events is a list of the request's key events, such as when it was created and approved, and when the entitlements were provisioned and deprovisioned.

Contesting Access Usage

If the usage was not appropriate or the Reviewer would like clarification from the Requestor, they will select Contest in the Reviewer Dashboard and enter their reasoning. This explanation is sent to the Requestor in the email notifying them their request was contested and they must provide a formal response.

The Requestor will write a comment to clarify the actions and retain documentation for auditors. Reviewers and Requestors are notified of responses, and all users configured on the EAM profile can read and submit comments on contested requests.

Once the Reviewer is satisfied or the process is otherwise completed, they will select Close and choose Close as Accepted or Close as Contested to finalize and close the review.
