Still tracking user access in spreadsheets? You’re not just wasting time, you’re putting your organization at risk. Manual reviews are tedious, error-prone, and easy to overlook. That’s why we built a fully integrated User Access Review flow right into Torii, so you can verify permissions, leverage usage insights, and take action faster, all in one place.
Every month, IT and security teams repeat the same painful ritual:
Pull whatever data they can from HR and SSO systems, dump it into Excel, and email managers asking, “Does this person still need access?”
The result?
- Weeks of back-and-forth to chase approvals
- Inaccurate user lists that lead to overprovisioning
- No clear audit trail for compliance teams
- And a looming sense that something’s probably been missed
The truth is, spreadsheets weren’t built for access reviews. But there’s a better way. One that replaces manual guesswork with automation, scattered files with centralized control, and endless emails with instant clarity.
Imagine managing the entire review process, from launch to audit-ready report, all in one place.
How Access Reviews Work in Torii
Forget chasing down spreadsheets, emails, and old user lists. Torii gives you a clean, structured way to launch, manage, and complete access reviews without the mess.
Here’s how it works:
1. Launch a User Access Review
Kick things off directly from the new Reviews tab on Torii’s Security page. Admins can initiate reviews for any connected app in just a few clicks, with no manual setup, no data wrangling.
2. Start the Review
Assigned reviewers are notified and can begin the review from the app’s page or the centralized Reviews table, so nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Complete Review Steps
Quickly confirm whether the user list is up to date. Then, for each user, reviewers can approve or reject access and add comments if needed, bringing clarity and accountability to every decision.
4. Submit the Review
Once everything’s been reviewed, submit the access review to lock the results in place and maintain a clear record for future reference.
5. Download the CSV Report
Export the full review, including approvals, rejections, and comments, as a CSV report for documentation, audits, or internal reporting.
