Manually Triggering Entitlement Reviews in Identity Panel

Access Panel includes the ability for IAM administrators to initiate entitlement reviews on demand. This capability allows organizations to maintain continuous compliance and control without waiting for the next scheduled review cycle. Whether triggered in response to an audit request, a role change, or a security incident, this flexibility empowers organizations to take immediate action.

Manual Access Reviews Explained

Typically, entitlement reviews are conducted as part of scheduled campaigns, where users’ access to systems, applications, or data is evaluated at regular intervals. However, there are many scenarios where an ad-hoc review is necessary. Identity Panel supports manual initiation of access reviews for:

• Specific users — for example, if an employee changes roles or is involved in a security concern

• Individual applications — such as when a sensitive system undergoes a policy update

• Selected entitlements — including access rights, roles, or group memberships that require immediate reevaluation

These manual reviews can be launched via the Access Panel interface, bypassing the standard campaign schedule and allowing targeted assessment and attestation of access.

Benefits of Manual Review Capability

This feature enhances the organization’s ability to:

• Respond quickly to security events by reviewing access in real time

• Support audits or investigations with focused entitlement checks

• Maintain least privilege by regularly reviewing high-risk or high-impact access outside normal cycles

• Ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations without delay

IAM teams can initiate and track these reviews directly, with full reporting and history captured for audit purposes.

With manual entitlement reviews, Identity Panel gives organizations the flexibility to enforce access governance whenever it’s needed most—minimizing risk, maintaining compliance, and improving operational agility.
