# Schedule an Access Review

### Overview

While some reviews may be one-time procedures, you will typically want to conduct reviews on a schedule to proactively mitigate security risks and ensure that access is evaluated consistently over time.

In Veza, you can create a schedule for any saved review configuration. The cadence for new reviews can be biweekly, monthly, every other month, or every quarter, depending on your operational practices and compliance requirements.

Scheduled reviews can have [auto-assigned](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/access-reviews/how-to/assign-reviewers.md) reviewers, and can use [Review Intelligence Policies](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/access-reviews/configuration/review-intelligence-rules.md) to automatically act on results that have not changed since the last review.

### Before you start

You will need:

* The administrator or operator role for viewing and managing review configurations.
* An existing review configuration. See [Create a Configuration](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/access-reviews/how-to/review-configuration.md) for more details.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Review configurations used for scheduling must be based on a **public** saved query. The scheduler runs in a system context and cannot access private queries. If the configuration uses a private query, scheduled review creation will fail. To resolve this, change the saved query visibility to Public or update the configuration to use a public query. See [Query visibility](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/search/saved-queries.md#query-visibility) for details.

### Scheduling access reviews

To schedule reviews for a configuration:

1. Choose a configuration on the **Configurations** page. Click **⠇**to expand the actions menu and choose **Create Schedule**.

   ![Schedule reviews for a configuration.](/files/lWuKehkJWVKV8N87Q0kl)
2. Configure the schedule:

   ![Schedule reviews for a configuration.](/files/L3sBMBomnIzzyH5JWbcD)

   1.1 Add a **Name** and **Description** for the created reviews.

   1.2 Assign one or more **Default Reviewers** for the review. These users can act on any row and reassign them to other users. By default, Veza will suggest default reviewers based on prior reviews for the configuration.

   1.3. Pick a **Frequency** to create reviews.

   Options are *Weekly*, *Biweekly*, *Monthly*, *Every other Month*, and *Quarterly*.

   Check the **Next Run On** date below the form to preview when the review will run based on the current frequency and start date.

   1.3. Pick a **Start Date** for the schedule.

   1.4. Pick a **Time to run review** and the **Time Zone**when the review will be run.

   1.5 Set the **Review Duration**. This is the number of days until the review expires at the specified time.

   1.6. (Optional) Under **Use Review Intelligence Policies**, enable automation to apply decisions based on a filter or prior decisions.

   1.7. **Set Review Time Frame**.

   Each new Review runs the workflow query parameters against the most recent graph data, the latest graph snapshot, or can run against a historical snapshot.

   Click **View Datasource Statuses** to inspect the current status of all Veza integrations involved in the query. Review the last sync time, status, and errors in the modal.
3. Click **Save** to create the schedule.

To edit a schedule later, find the configuration on the **Configurations** page and click **Edit Schedule**.
