Using the Self-Service Portal to review user entitlements

You can use the Self-Service Portal to review user access permissions to the paths that are assigned to you. On the Entitlement Review page of the portal, you can perform the following tasks:

  • View a snapshot of the users whose permissions are assigned for your review.

  • Review if the user has the creator owner permissions on a path.

    If the option to display the creator owner is selected in the workflow template, the Creator Owner column is displayed on the Portal UI with value as 'Yes' against user who is creator owner.

    Note that if the Creator Owner is a group, no value is displayed in the Creator Owner column.

  • Filter the users to be reviewed based on their activity profiles and the assigned paths. For example, you might be interested to first review the entitlements for the users who are inactive.

  • Make recommendation to grant or revoke user permissions on the specified paths.

  • Decline the review request or delegate the review work to another user.

  • For Azure Active Directory,

    • If you have configured userType custom attribute, all internal users will be segregated in two categories, Guest and Member.

    • All external users, who have permissions in OneDrive or SharePoint Online, will be listed under Unresolved User domain after Local User Scan or Azure Active Directory scan.

To review user entitlements

  1. Use the Resources drop-down to select the path for which you want to review the user permissions. From the drop-down list click the path for which you want to review user entitlements. All the review requests for the selected path are displayed on the panel.
  2. Use the Users by activity filter to sort the users based on their activity profiles.

    You can further filter the users by selecting the group they belong to or by using their directory service attribute.

  3. Do any of the following:
    • To review the permissions of individual users, click Yes to grant access to the path, and click No to revoke the user's access on the path

    • To review the permissions for multiple users, select the users based on the action you want to take. For example, select the users whose permissions you want to revoke on the selected path.

      Click either Allow access or Revoke access to grant or to decline the permissions to the selected group of users.

To decline or delegate entitlement review requests

  1. Click the down-pointing arrow for the path filter. From the drop-down list select the paths using the check boxes.
  2. Do any of the following:
    • Click Decline to reject the request to review permissions on the selected path.

    • Click Delegate to delegate the entitlement review task to another user.

After you submit the review request from the portal, the details are sent to the Data Insight Management Server. The Data Insight administrator can view the paths for which custodians have suggested changes to the permissions, and can perform the relevant changes. Alternatively, Data Insight can automatically trigger a permission remediation action to distribute the actions to the proper authorities such as, directory server administrators.

To automatically initiate a permission remediation action, you must first configure the permission remediation settings. For more information, refer to Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide.
