Work out access review effort instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
User access review effort is users times entitlements times seconds per decision, and the numbers get large fast: 3,000 users with 14 entitlements each is 42,000 decisions per cycle, over 230 hours at 20 seconds each. That arithmetic is why quarterly reviews degenerate into bulk approvals, and why role-based grouping and risk-based scoping matter more than reviewer diligence.
Review effort
decisions = users x entitlements; hours per cycle = decisions x seconds / 3600; annual = hours x cycles
Review roles rather than individual entitlements, auto-approve unchanged low-risk access, and focus manual attention on privileged and segregation-of-duties conflicts.
Reviewer fatigue leading to blanket approval. If the average decision takes two seconds in practice, the control exists on paper only.
