Reviews Overview

The Entitlement Reviews interface is where users with either the Security Team or Administrator role (to be referred to as Review Administrators) can manage reviews. The workflow provides a way for business users or data custodians (to be referred to as Owners) to attest to the access and privileges users have to their resources.

For the purpose of the Access Reviewsapplication, a “resource” refers to the file system shared folders, SharePoint Online site collections, and Active Directory (AD) groups. All data available within the Access Reviews application is collected by Netwrix Auditor according to the synchronized monitoring plans.

Remember, Owners are assigned to resources in the Resource Owners interface. Only resources with assigned Owners can be included in a reviews.

Who Can Run Reviews (Review Administrators)?

      CAUTION: Visibility into a review created by a Review Administrator with the Security Team role is blocked if a Review Administrator with the Administrator role starts a new instance.
