Assignment methods

Enable the Assignment methods option on the Access Certifications Settings Contextual information page to provide context for access certification campaign reviewers on how a user was assigned access to a resource. It provides reviewers with visibility into assignment methods for all resources, including all methods used to grant entitlements. Enabling the setting before campaigns launch helps reviewers to make informed, accurate decisions about a user's access. See Customizable reviewer context for steps to enable the option.

If available, Okta also provides more context about the actor who granted the assignment.
