Manager, Application Owner, and Advanced Access Reviews

Access reviews for Manager, Application Owner, and Advanced Access Certifications 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 identity list-type certifications.

For detailed information on completing an access review, see Access Review Decisions / Operations(LINK IN DOC).
