Manager-Only Review Burden

Manager-Only Review Burden is the anti-pattern of putting all access review responsibility on managers without sufficient support, ownership layering, or expertise.

Definition

Manager-Only Review Burden appears when recertification depends almost entirely on managers even though application managers, security teams, or other owners should also play a role. This can reduce review quality when managers lack the technical or functional understanding needed to judge access correctly.

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.
