In brief
The page no longer labels the capability as Preview and now documents catalog resource setup, Logic App integration, manual uploads, and applying results to non-Approve decisions. The previous note about single-stage reviews with manager reviewers was removed.
What Entra admins need to know
Administrators have updated setup steps and can use the documented Logic App or manual processes for custom review data and remediation.

Include custom data provided resource in the catalog for catalog user Access Reviews (Preview)
Organizations often have applications that aren’t yet integrated with Microsoft Entra but still need to be governed. Using custom data provided resources, you can include these disconnected applications in Microsoft Entra ID access reviews by uploading their access data directly into a catalog.
If you do not yet have a catalog, then create a new catalog. If you have a catalog already, then continue at the next section.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least an Identity Governance Administrator or catalog creator.
Browse to ID Governance > Catalogs.
Select New catalog.
Enter a unique name for the catalog and provide a description. Users see this information in an access package's details.
Select Create to create the catalog.
For more information on creating a catalog and adding resources, see Create and manage a catalog of resources.
Select Add resources.
Select the resource type: custom data provided resource.

For more information, see Configuring logic app for uploading and remediating decisions.
Manually upload custom data
After creating the catalog access review, but before uploading your custom data, you must get both the Access Review object ID, and the Access Review instance object ID. To get this information, you'd do the following:
Select the catalog access review you created.
On the Access Review overview screen, copy the Object ID.
:::image type="content" source="media/custom-data-resource-access-reviews/access-review-object-id.png" alt-text="Screenshot of finding the access review object ID.":::
Select the current instance of the access review on the access review overview screen.
On the access review instance screen, save the instance Object ID.
:::image type="content" source="media/custom-data-resource-access-reviews/access-review-instance-object-id.png" alt-text="Screenshot of finding the access review instance object ID.":::
Upload custom data
After copying both the access review object and access review instance object IDs, note that the status of the access review shows as Initializing.
:::image type="content" source="media/custom-data-resource-access-reviews/initializing-access-review-status.png" alt-text="Initializing access review status.":::
Return to the catalog you created, and select Resources.
On the resource screen for the catalog, select the custom data access resource you created, and select Upload custom access data.

Custom data for access CSV fields
When uploading CSVs to be included in the access data, the following parameters are included in the template:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| PrincipalId | The Microsoft Entra ID User ID of the user whose access needs to be reviewed. This value must match a valid Microsoft Entra user. |
| PrincipalType | Specifies the type of principal. For access reviews this will always be EntraIdUser. |
| PermissionName | The display name of the permission that the user has in the application. Example: Read, Write, and Admin. |
| PermissionDescription | A brief explanation of what this permission allows within the application. This provides reviewers with context when deciding whether access should be continued. |
| PermissionType | Indicates the category of permission. |
| ScopeId | A unique identifier for the application. |
| ScopeDisplayName | The display name of the application. |
| EntitlementOwners_Users | A comma separated list of the Microsoft Entra ID User ID owners of the permission. |
| EntitlementOwners_Groups | A comma separated list of the Microsoft Entra ID Group ID group owners of the permission. |
| CustomData | Any additional information that could provide more context to a reviewer when making a decision. |
You can also upload custom data via Graph by creating an upload session and then uploading a CSV file. For more information, see customDataProvidedResourceUploadSession.
- Reviewers receive an email notification.
- They can sign in to the My Access portal to view and complete their review decisions.
Applying stage
In the Applying stage, you can get a list of denied users by making the list decisions API call:
The review transition to the **Applied** state once all the custom data provided decisions have been applied. For example, if you have five decisions that must be made from the data, you must apply using PATCH each of five decision items before the review transitions to **Applied**.
## Review status
As reviewers take actions, the review progresses through several states:
| Applying | Review decisions are being remediated. |
| Applied | All decisions are marked as applied. |
## Timeframes summary
| Action | When | Time limit |
| Review decisions | During *Active* | Until the review end date. |
| Apply decisions | During *Applying* | 30 days and review remains in applying status until all decisions are marked as applied.|
