Using What If Analysis

A What If analysis simulates the impact to access risks, including separation of duties (SoD) or sensitive access, that would occur if you give or remove permissions from users, roles, or composite roles. For example, you may use the User What If analysis to determine whether assigning multiple roles would introduce new risks or if removing a role would eliminate them. This provides risk insights for decision makers. Logs of these simulations can serve as audit evidence to demonstrate that the access request process is compliant with applicable control frameworks.
