Overview

Explore discovered entities across data sources.

The Access Intelligence > Overview page (also called "Access Analytics") is the default landing page when navigating to Access Intelligence. It provides an at-a-glance summary of all entities Veza has discovered across your integrated data sources, organized by category and integration type.

This overview replaces the original "Entities" page and now includes entity count breakdowns by category (Identities, Resources, IAM/RBAC, etc.) for each integration type, making it easier to understand the scope of your authorization landscape.

The Access Intelligence Overview page, showing all AWS entities Veza has discovered.

Overview Features

Entity Category Summaries

The overview organizes discovered entities into categories:

• Identities - Users, groups, and identity objects

• Resources - Data sources, applications, storage, and services

• IAM/RBAC - Roles, policies, permissions, and access controls

• Uncategorized - Other entity types

Each category displays:

• Total count of entities in that category

• Individual entity types with their specific counts

• Clickable links to open each entity type in Query Builder

Platform Filtering

Use the Platform dropdown menu to filter the view by integration type:

• Select a specific platform (e.g., AWS, Azure, Okta, Snowflake)

• View aggregated counts across all integrations of that type

• For example, selecting "AWS" shows combined entity counts across all connected AWS accounts

Export and Share

You can export the current display or share it with stakeholders:

• Export: Download a PDF containing the entity type summaries and counts for the selected platform

• Share: Copy a secure link to the clipboard that opens the current filtered view for other Veza users

Common Use Cases

The Overview page is particularly useful for:

After adding a new integration, use the Overview to:

• Verify that Veza successfully discovered expected entity types

• Identify the scale of entities across different categories

• Confirm that key resources and identities are being ingested

Integration Scoping

When planning integration configurations:

• Review entity IDs and attributes to set extraction limits

• Identify specific resources to include or exclude from discovery

• Understand the breadth of entities before applying filters

Development and Configuration

For technical use cases:

• Retrieve entity type names and attributes when developing OAA integrations

• Find entity IDs for configuring Workflow IdP settings

• Explore available entity types before building custom queries

Entity Exploration

Click any entity type to:
