Access Review Details – Role Composition List
The role composition list is composed of all roles that are part of this access review.
The object list page contains three tabs:
- Important – contains items that require immediate attention, such as returned delegations.
- Open – all of the other access review items that have yet to be acted upon.
- Review – the items on which a decision has been made.
By default the page opens with the Important tab displayed, if there are issues that require immediate action.

-

Following additional functionalities are provided on the page:
-
Pagination controls and preserved page state when returning from detailed views.
-
Jump To - Enables direct navigation to a specified page in the list by entering its page number.
-
Items per page dropdown -The Items per page dropdown specifies the number of records displayed on the Access Reviews page. The default setting is 25, with standard options of 10, 25, 50, and 100. Administrators can customize these options or change the default value by modifying the UIConfig XML object.
To configure the items per page values:
- Open the IdentityIQ Debug page.
- In the Object Type dropdown list, select Configuration, and search for the UIConfig object.
- Locate the
accessReviewItemsPerPageValuesentry key in the XML file. - Update the list of comma-separated numeric values under this key. The maximum allowed value is 1,000 (maxListResultSize). Any value exceeding this limit is automatically omitted from the user interface.
-
Set the default selection by appending an asterisk (*) to the target value. For example:
10, 25*, 50, 100.Note
If no value contains an asterisk, IdentityIQ automatically defaults to the second number in the configured list.
-
Select Save to apply your changes.
Note
If an administrator removes an option previously selected by a user, the user interface temporarily retains that legacy value in the dropdown list for that specific user. After the user selects any active value from the newly configured list, IdentityIQ clears the legacy preference and displays only the active configured options.
Key Rules and Behavioral Logic
| Feature/Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Maximum Display Limit | A maximum of 1,000 items can be displayed on a single page at one time. Any configured value exceeding the global system threshold (maxListResultSize, capped at 1,000) is automatically omitted and will not appear in the user interface dropdown. |
| Default Selection Fallback | If a default option is not explicitly marked with an asterisk (*) under the accessReviewItemsPerPageValues key, IdentityIQ automatically defaults to the second value (index 1) in the configured sequence. |
| Saved User Preferences | When a user selects a page size, the choice is saved to their personal UIPreference object and retained across sessions, overriding the global default configured in UIConfig. |
| Dynamic Preference Handling | If an administrator removes a user's previously selected page size from UIConfig, the user interface preserves the legacy preference from that user's UIPreference object alongside the new values to ensure seamless viewing. Once the user selects any active value from the updated list, the legacy preference is cleared, and only the configured options remain visible. |
