Role Membership and Entitlement Owner Access Reviews

Role Membership and Entitlement Owner access reviews share a common user interface. The access review might look different in your instance of IdentityIQ depending on the configuration and the options selected when the certification was defined. These are all object list-type certifications.

For detailed information on certifications and access reviews, see About Certifications.

For detailed information on completing an access review, see About Access Reviews.

Access Review Details – Object List

The object list is composed of all roles or entitlements 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.

Object List Page Features

The following features are available for all of the tabs:

  • Object list icon – click the icon to display a list of the items that make up the access review.

  • Download to CSV icon – click the icon to download the access review list to a CSV file.

  • Information icon – click the information icon to get details about the access review, including due date, owner, phase, number of completed items and revocations.

  • Columns – add, remove, or rearrange the columns displayed on the page.

  • Group By – rearrange the sort order of items on the page.

  • Filter – use a filter to limit the items displayed.

  • Bulk Decision button – make the same decision for multiple items. If only one action is applicable, that action appears on the button.

  • Bulk select / deselect – click the box on the header line and choose to select or deselect multiple items.

The access recommendations icon is only displayed If SailPoint AI-Driven Identity Security was purchased and activated for your installation of IdentityIQ. Access recommendations are not available on Entitlement Owner Certifications. See About SailPoint AI-Driven Identity Security for more information.

  • Access Recommendations – display the Decision Recommendation popup

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:

  1. Open the IdentityIQ Debug page.
  2. In the Object Type dropdown list, select Configuration, and search for the UIConfig object.
  3. Locate the accessReviewItemsPerPageValues entry key in the XML file.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  6. 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.
