  2. Filter reviews by the reviewer or the date they were launched.

  3. Click View to view details about a review.

  4. Optional. If you want to review user access to a resource and revoke or restore it, follow prompts on the UI to drill down into a resource and review its details, anomalies, and the summary. Select the available option from the Actions menu associated with the resource, its entitlements, or groups that assign access to the resource.
