Catalog Access Reviews

In brief

Catalog Access Reviews (preview)

Catalog access reviews in Microsoft Entra ID Governance enable organizations to simplify how managersreviewers can review user access to multiple resource types, such as groups, applications, and custom disconnected resources at once. This helps ensure only the right people retain access, while enabling managers and resource owners to review access efficiently through a multi-stage process.

License requirements

  1. With the resources selected, select Add to save them in the catalog.
  2. To enable the review to also include data from custom data providers, select Custom Data Provided Resource (Preview), and provide the name and description of the resource. For more information, see custom data provided resource.

For more information on creating a catalog and adding resources, see Create and manage a catalog of resources.
