Launching an Access Review

To launch an access review from the Administrator interface, use one of these methods:

• Click Launch Review from the Compliance -> Access Reviews page.

• Select the Access Review task in the Server Tasks -> Run Tasks page.

On the displayed Launch Task page, specify a name for the access review. Select the scans from the Available Access Scans list and move them to the Selected list.

If you select more than one scan, you can choose one of the following launch options:

• immediately. This option starts running the scan immediately upon clicking the Launch button. If you select this option for multiple scans in the launch task, then the scans will run in parallel.

• after waiting. This option allows you to specify a period of time to wait before launching the scan, relative to the launch of the access review task.

You can initiate more than one scan during an access review session. However, consider that each scan may involve a large number of users, and therefore the scan process can take many hours to complete. Best practice dictates that you manage your scans accordingly. For example, you might launch one scan to run immediately and schedule other scans at staggered intervals.

Click Launch to start the access review process.

The name you assign to an access review is important. Access reviews that run on a periodic basis with the same name can be compared by some reports.

When you launch an access review, the workflow process diagram is displayed, showing the steps in the process.
