How to understand and customize insights on the Veza Dashboard.
Last updated
Dashboards in Veza offer visibility into your organization's authorization landscape across cloud providers, identity systems, and data stores. Combining pre-built intelligence with customizable insights, dashboards enable teams to identify risks, track access patterns, and enforce least privilege principles.
The primary Dashboards page provides a central hub for monitoring and analyzing authorization insights. Each dashboard features curated tiles to surface critical findings driven by Veza's graph search. Each tile includes options to review trends, analyze results, and create rules.
Veza provides built-in dashboards for a range of identity security use cases, including reports for dormant entities, non-human identities, privileged access by roles, and many more. The main Access Analytics Summary highlights top risks, rules, and recent alerts for your integrations. Teams can edit saved queries and reports to customize and extend these featured dashboards.
The home dashboard presents an overview of your authorization environment through the Access Analytics Summary. This view highlights:
Top sources of identities, resources, and roles across all integrated systems
Total entity counts and distribution across platforms
Risks associated with each integration
Recent alerts and configured rules
Options to view entities in Query Builder for more details or export a summary
For more information see Analytics.
Each dashboard tile represents a single insight, supporting trend visualization, historical comparison, drill-down, and integration with Query Builder and Graph.
A dashboard tile is based on a Saved Query, and indicates the:
Risk level (low, medium, high, or critical)
Current value and trend indicator
Change over the chosen time period (percentage and total value)
Historical trend graph for the time period
Click a tile to open the Saved Query Details view. You can use the query details view to manage exceptions or create rules, visualize trends over time, and access the original query description and parameters.
Click the menu (⋮) on any tile to access quick actions:
Expand: View and export detailed trend data and analysis
Analyze: Visualize the underlying data for the saved query
Share This Tile: Copy a link to share findings with team members
Open in Query Builder: View and customize the underlying query
Open in Graph: Visualize relationships in Authorization Graph
Alert on Change: Configure notifications for changes
Create Rule: Set thresholds for critical changes and configure appropriate notification channels and orchestration actions
Schedule Export: Automate data exports and reporting
Use the left panel to access and manage dashboards, and customize their order for quick access to the most relevant insights.
Click to open built-in dashboards organized by category
Search for specific dashboards using the search bar
Add, hide, or reorder dashboards using the edit mode
Use the time range controls to analyze trends across different periods:
Past Hour

Past 7 Days
Past 30 Days
Past 90 Days
Past 6 Months
Past Year
For 6 months and 1-year views, charts represent weekly values instead of daily values. The value shown is for the last day of a week. For example, the week of
11/19-11/25appears on the X-axis as11/19, and the value is the query result on11/25.
To toggle the insights displayed, use the visibility options:
Integration Filtering: Focus on specific platforms or accounts
Risk Level Filtering: Prioritize insights by criticality
Zero Result Hiding: Remove tiles with no findings
Access dashboard-level controls in the top right:
Share: Generate shareable dashboard links
Export: Download dashboard data
Edit: Customize dashboard content and layout
Clone: Create a copy for customization
Delete: Remove dashboard
Focus on establishing your core access graph with 3-5 critical integrations. This initial phase can deliver immediate value by providing visibility into key systems while additional integrations are added to Veza.

Based on the data sources integrated with Veza, you can use dashboards to immediately start identifying top risks, and analyzing and acting on the most important findings.
Review and customize dashboard insights for key systems (AWS IAM, Snowflake, etc.). During this phase, work with stakeholders to:
Set appropriate risk levels
Configure Alert Rules and Orchestration Actions
Customize queries for specific use cases
You can then expand usage to include:
User/group/role comparison and analysis
Advanced access pattern detection with SoD and Activity Monitoring
Custom reports and dashboards
Access Reviews implementation (if applicable)
You can create reports containing both built-in and custom saved queries. You can then add these reports to your dashboard to focus on the data points most important to you. You can then share these reports with your team to provide fine-tuned visibility into the risks and trends.
To add queries to reports when saving a query:
Open the saved query details view or edit in Query Builder
Open the Add To Report (Optional) tab
Administrators can customize the available dashboards by adding and removing reports from the Dashboard reports category.
