Control which bulk actions are available to reviewers.
This setting provides granular control over bulk operations in Access Reviews. With it, administrators can selectively disable specific actions, based on organizational security policies and compliance requirements.
When a bulk action is enabled (all actions are enabled by default), reviewers choose the action to multiple rows at once using row selection, "Select All", or filter-based operations. When disabled, the specified action is hidden from the reviewer interface, for any operations affecting two or more rows.
Bulk action restrictions apply only to users with the reviewer role. Administrators and operators are not affected by these settings. Single-row operations (acting on one row at a time) are never restricted.
All fields default to true (all bulk actions allowed). This setting can be configured globally for all reviews, or for specific review configurations by workflow_id parameter.
The fallback precedence is:
configuration-specific setting → global setting → default (all enabled).
When a bulk action is disabled, any Smart Actions that use the disabled action type are also hidden from reviewers. For example, if bulk approve is disabled, a Smart Action that includes an approve step will not be shown to reviewers.
