Use cases

A Survey is an overall term for a manual evaluation process. Managers, system owners, and administrators can initiate and/or respond to surveys about relevant elements in the system. This includes:

  • When a manager reviews an access request from an employee in their department.
  • A manager in a department can be asked to review the current access permissions for their employees and to assess whether to keep or remove any of the access permissions.
  • A system owner can initiate a survey to manually assign ownership to accounts and determine their account types.

When a survey administrator has initiated a survey, a manager of at least one identity is assigned an access review task for the relevant identities.

Depending on how often such surveys are run, a manager may have few or many questions to respond to. Surveys are based on a type of system, for example, Active Directory. A survey can be overall or more specific, with a focus on, for example, a resource or an organizational unit.
