Dashboards

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.

Dashboard Insights

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:

• Sync with Latest Data: Refresh this individual tile with current data from the Access Graph

• Copy Query link: Copy a link to share findings with team members

• Create Alert on Change: Configure notifications for changes

• Create Rule: Set thresholds for critical changes and configure appropriate notification channels and Veza Actions

• Launch Access Review: Initiate an access review process for the query results

• Open in Graph: Visualize relationships in Authorization Graph

• Expand: View and export detailed trend data and analysis

• Analyze: Visualize the underlying data for the saved query

• Open in Query Builder: View and customize the underlying query

• Schedule Export: Automate data exports and reporting

Refreshing Dashboard Data

Dashboards provide two methods for refreshing query results with the latest data from the Access Graph:

Sync All with Latest Data

Use the Sync All with Latest Data button (accessed via the three-dots menu in the top-right corner of the dashboard) to refresh all tiles on the current dashboard simultaneously. This provides a way to ensure all dashboard insights reflect the most current data without having to manually refresh each tile individually.

Important considerations:

• The sync operation is asynchronous and may take time to complete depending on the number of tiles and query complexity. The sync process runs in the background, so you can continue using the dashboard while it updates.

• Data is only refreshed for tiles whose underlying data sources have been updated since the last sync

• Each tile will update individually as its query completes. New timestamps will appear on tiles once their data has been refreshed

Individual Tile Refresh

For targeted updates, each dashboard tile includes a Sync with Latest Data option in the tile actions menu. Use this to to update specific insights without affecting other tiles on the dashboard. Individual tile refresh follows the same data source update requirements as the dashboard-level sync.

To refresh an individual tile:

1. Click the menu (⋮) on the tile

2. Select Sync with Latest Data from the dropdown menu

The tile will update with the latest query results and display a new timestamp indicating when the data was last synced, but only if the underlying data sources have been updated since the last refresh.

Navigating the Built-in Dashboards

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

Time Range Controls and Filters

Use the time range controls to analyze trends across different periods:

• Past Hour

• Past Day

• 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 11/19-11/25 appears on the X-axis as 11/19, and the value is the query result on 11/25.

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:

Click the menu (⋮) to access dashboard actions:

• Sync All with Latest Data: Refresh all tiles on the dashboard with current data from the Access Graph

• Edit: Customize dashboard content and layout

• Clone: Create a copy for customization

• Delete: Remove dashboard

Additional actions available directly:

• Share: Generate shareable dashboard links

• Export: Download dashboard data

Building a Foundation

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.

Veza offers out-of-the-box dashboards for monitoring critical access patterns, tracking changes over time, and generating and sharing insights. Built-in dashboards are available to help manage:

• Identity and Privilege Access Insights

• Dormant Entities

• GitHub Misconfigurations

• Cloud IAM Insights

• Snowflake Insights

• Databricks Insights

• Redshift Insights

• BigQuery Insights

• Data Insights

• Top Insights

• Privileged Account Dashboard

• Privileged Access by Deactivated Accounts

• Accounts that can Bypass MFA

• Privileged Access by Accounts

• Privileged Access by Roles

• Privileged Access by External Accounts

• Privileged Access by Machine Identities and Service Accounts

• Snowflake Data Governance Dashboard

• Salesforce Security Dashboard

• Google Drive

• SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)

• NHI Insights

• AWS IAM Insights

• Google Cloud IAM Insights

• Okta Insights

• Active Directory and Azure AD Insights

• Identity Protection Risks

• NHI Access Tracker

• Snowflake Role Mining Insights

• AWS Role Mining Insights

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.

Activating Access Intelligence

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 Veza 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)

Customizing Dashboards

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:

1. Open the saved query details view or edit in Query Builder

2. Open the Add To Report (Optional) tab

Administrators can customize the available dashboards by adding and removing reports from the Dashboard reports category.
