Identities Overview

Introduction to the Overview Page​

The Overview page provides a consolidated view of all identity metrics.

  • Use the filters or search if you want to display metrics for a subset of identities. By default, the tab displays all identity metrics from the latest week.
  • Examine the Summary section to view high level information about excessive privileges, long-lived active access keys, user accounts, active/inactive users, and identities coverage.
  • Scroll down to examine additional sections of trend information: high risk, low usage, identity activity, and identity compliance.
  • Click Explore for any chart where you want to examine the data in more detail. For most charts, this opens the Explorer page filtered to that chart's data. For example, clicking Explore for the Identities with excessive privileges chart opens the Explorer page filtered by Unused entitlements %.
    For some charts, clicking Explore opens filtered results on the Alerts page or Cloud compliance page.
  • Use the available detailed information to begin deeper investigation into individual identities.

When the page displays your desired identity data, click Save or Create view in the top right corner. This allows you to access the saved view later. You can also copy the link to a saved view by opening the list of saved views and clicking the Share view icon of the view you want to share. You can then send that link to others so they can see the same view. For more details about saved views, refer to Views Management.
