Enable Automated Access Review

This article explains how to enable and configure the Automated Access Review in Syskit Point.

To use the advantages of Automated Access Review in Syskit Point, first, you need to:

• Set up e-mail settings

• Enable Syskit Point Collaborators role

Please note! Only users assigned to the Syskit Point Admin role can access and configure Settings in Syskit Point.

To start with the configuration, open the Settings > Governance > Access Review screen. Initially, you may find the Access Review settings screen displaying the following warnings:

Settings - Access Review screen

Clicking the tiles in the Additional Actions Required section redirects to the appropriate settings screen.

Set Up E-Mail

As a part of the Automated Access Review process, e-mails are sent to Syskit Point Admin and Syskit Point Collaborator users. For Syskit Point to be able to send e-mails, you need to configure the sending method. Two options are available:

• Exchange Online

• SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Please Note! The e-mail address set up in this section will appear in the Sent from field in all e-mails sent from Syskit Point.

Exchange Online Settings

Please Note! Exchange Online has a sending limit of 10000 e-mails per day.

The Exchange Online method enables you to use an existing Exchange account in your Microsoft 365 tenant to send e-mails from Syskit Point. Here, you can:

• Enter a valid e-mail address in the Sent from field (1)

• Choose whether to save e-mails sent by Syskit Point to the Sent Items folder (2); by default, this option is turned on, meaning that all e-mails sent from Syskit Point will be stored in the Sent mailbox folder of the entered Exchange account

• Send a test e-mail (3) to check if the entered e-mail address is working properly

Exchange Online e-mail Settings screen

After clicking the Send test e-mail button, the Sent test e-mail dialog opens. Here, enter the e-mail address to which you want to send the test e-mail.

Click the Save button to store your e-mail settings.

SMTP Settings

Select the SMTP method if you are using an SMTP server in your environment. Here, you can enter the SMTP properties:

• Outgoing Server

• Port

• Sent from e-mail

• Username and Password; in case the Require Authentication option is enabled

  You can also choose whether to Use Encrypted Connection (SSL).

SMTP e-mail Settings screen

You can check if the entered data is correct by sending a test e-mail.

Click the Save button once you confirm you received the test e-mail.
