Interpreting Violation Reports

The policy violation reports available with the Separation of Duty service are configured to provide you with any information you might need to correct or manage violations.

The first several columns of the report are information about the policy itself. These are present in all reports, including violation reports for a single policy. This means that in some cases, the first several columns of an SoD report are identical across multiple rows.

After these columns, the report provides information about the identity in violation.

The table below provides a list of columns found in violation reports and a description of the information found in them.
