Modify Access Review Options
Automated Access Review is evolving into Workspace Review, a more powerful solution that covers not only access but also ownership, privacy, sensitivity, and overall workspace security.
⚠️ Note: Access Review will be retired in January 2027. For a richer governance experience, we recommend completing your current reviews and then moving to Workspace Review.
Learn more in the Workspace Review documentation.
Access Review options are available in the Governance plan and higher tiers. See the pricing page for more details.
To start with the configuration, navigate to Settings > Governance > Access Review Options Here, you can find 3 sections:
- Manage Reviewers
- Review Options
- Customize E-mail
Access Review e-mail customization is described in the following article.
