Access Review
An Access Review is a review activity used to evaluate whether existing access is still appropriate for a user, account, role, or entitlement.
Definition
An Access Review is the operational act of re-evaluating existing access against business need, risk level, segregation rules, ownership, and lifecycle status. While closely related to access certification, the term can also refer more broadly to manual, targeted, or event-triggered reviews performed outside formal campaign cycles.
Why it matters
Access Reviews are the operational mechanism through which organizations detect and correct inappropriate access over time.
The Ariovis perspective
A review campaign is useful only if owners, data quality, rights semantics and remediation are clear. The objective is not to send forms, but to make reliable decisions and act on them.

Common pitfalls
- A common pitfall is reviewing access at the account level without considering what entitlements or privileges the account actually holds.
