Below are some FAQs you might have about the review process.

How do I see all of the columns in the table?

Scroll to the right to display them.

What am I supposed to be reviewing?

1. **Permissions**: If you see a **Permissions** column in the table, each row represents a specific role or app group to which the employee is assigned. You'll decide whether they should still have it.

A **Permissions** review is where you're reviewing specific access.

2. **Accounts:** In this case, you're reviewing the employee's access to an app as a whole.

What does each column mean?

The data for each access review can differ by app, but there are some columns that are useful in all reviews.

* **Employment Status**: If the user is still actively working at your company.
* **Last Login**: The last time the employee logged into the app.
* **Groups**: App-specific groups assigned to the user, revealing more insight into their access level and needs.
* **Categories**: More info on the **Categories** column can be found in the FAQ below.

What do the values in the **Categories** column mean?

* **Admin Privileges** - This means the user likely has some kind of "admin" access to the app. Review carefully.
* **Terminated** - The employee is no longer with your company.
* **Service Account** - Lumos detected that the account is a system/service account in the app.
* **Unmatched** - The account isn't linked to an employee. Usually these are guest accounts, system/service accounts, or contractor accounts. Review them carefully.

  See [Understanding Categories in the Access Review](/for-admins/access-reviews/understanding-categories-in-the-access-review) for more details.

What if something shouldn't have been assigned to me?

**Contact the team or employees mentioned in your initial notification.**

## 4. Approve or reject the accounts assigned to you.

You can approve or reject multiple lines at once. As you review your tasks, use the following workflow:

1. Scan over ***all*** your assigned accounts and click the reject (X) icon in the **Review Action** column if any access should **not** be kept. Don't approve anything yet.

   1. Choose **Reject** if their access should be removed completely.
   2. Choose **Modify** if the access should be adjusted, not fully-removed.
2. After rejecting any access, select the checkbox in the table's top-left corner, click ***Select All*** for the remaining line items, then click the approve (checkmark) icon in the pop-up to approve the remaining items.
