URL & Login

You can access the Access Reviews Console through a supported browser from a machine within your company's network. The URL is the hosting machine's name and the port, http://[HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM]:81. For example, if the application was installed on a server named NEWYORKSRV10.NWXTech.com with the default port of 81, the URL would be http://NEWYORKSRV10.NWXTech.com:81.

Administrators

Administrators with access to the server hosting the application can use the desktop icon to launch the application in their default browser. Alternatively, you can use the localhost URL:

Remote Access

Because Access Reviews is a browser-based application, you can access the web interface remotely. The Administrator is responsible for providing users with the correct URL for access.

Depending on your network environment, you may need to use the NetBIOS name, FQDN, or IP Address of the hosting server in the browser. Also, additional configurations by network and system administrators may be necessary to make the web server accessible to remote users (firewall configurations, DNS settings, etc.).

You can replace the server name in the URL with an alias. See the Notification Options topic for additional information.

Login Page​

Users log in with their domain credentials. If only one domain is known to the Access Reviews Console, you only need a username and password. If multiple domains are known, enter the username in the domain\username format.

NOTE: You may need to add the URL to the browser's list of trusted sites.

Access Information Center Login page

The interface a user arrives at depends upon the assigned role or lack of assigned role.

User Landing Page​

Role-based access controls what interfaces users can see and where each user goes upon login.

RECOMMENDED: Send an email to your users. Let them know why you're implementing the application, provide the URL, and explain how to log in with their domain credentials and the username format. See the Enable Console Users topic for additional information.

Administrator Role​

Users granted the Administrator role go to the Resource Owners interface upon login.
