Configure recurring access reviews
Access reviews can be set to occur on a recurring basis. Name your access review, select a start date, frequency, duration, and specify when the series ends—you can choose Never, a specific end date, or a set number of occurrences. Reviewers are notified at the start of each review. Reviewers can approve or deny access with a friendly interface and with the help of smart recommendations.
Why are recurring access reviews important? Because of lifecycle management. Everything that starts needs to have an end date. Between the start and end, we need to ensure permissions are what we need them to be. Not too much, not too little. And we regularly ask an owner if everything is still what they want it to be. With recurrence, we make sure this checking is done regularly.
After a recurring review series starts, you can update its settings or reviewers at any time. When updating, you can apply changes to just the Current instance (the active review) or to the Series (all future recurrences). For example, if a reviewer leaves the organization, update the Series to replace them for all upcoming reviews. If you only need to adjust settings for the review in progress, update the Current instance instead.
