Privileged Users Access Review Checklist
Use this template to conduct periodic access reviews for privileged users across your environment. Capture a complete inventory of privileged and service accounts, map current permission sets, and evaluate the necessity of each entitlement against role requirements and least-privilege principles.

Take remediation actions such as de‑provisioning, permission adjustments, user retraining, and credential rotation.
