Dashboard & Reporting
The IdentityCenter dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of your identity environment's health, compliance status, and key metrics. Navigate to the Dashboard after logging in to see it.
Dashboard Overview
The main dashboard is divided into several sections:

| Disabled Users | Users with disabled accounts |
| Total Groups | Number of synchronized groups |
| Total Computers | Number of domain-joined computers |
| Open Violations | Policy violations needing attention |
Sync Status
Shows the health of your synchronization:
- Last sync time for each connection
- Number of objects synced in the last run
- Any sync errors or warnings
- Next scheduled sync time
Compliance Overview
A summary of your compliance posture:
- Active access review campaigns and their completion percentage
- Policy violations by severity (critical, high, medium, low)

Generating Reports
- Navigate to Reports from the main menu
- Select the report type
- Configure parameters:
- Date range
- Scope (all users, specific department, specific group)
- Format (on-screen, PDF, CSV)
- Click Generate
- View the report on screen or download it
Exporting Data
Most views in IdentityCenter support data export:
- CSV Export — Download data as a spreadsheet-compatible file
- PDF Reports — Formatted reports suitable for auditors
- On-Screen — View and filter data directly in the browser
Tip: For SOX audits, generate the Access Review Summary and Attestation Report together. These two reports provide the complete evidence trail auditors need.
Using Reports for Compliance
SOX Compliance
SOX requires quarterly access reviews with documented approval chains. Use these reports:
- Access Review Summary — Shows campaign completion rates and timelines
- Attestation Report — Proves each reviewer made a conscious decision
- Remediation Report — Shows that revocations were actually implemented
PCI DSS
PCI requires regular access reviews for cardholder data environments. Generate:
- Privileged Access Report — Document who has admin access
- Policy Compliance Report — Show compliance rule enforcement
- Stale Account Report — Prove inactive accounts are cleaned up
ISO 27001
ISO requires evidence of access control and periodic review:
- User Inventory — Complete identity registry
- Group Membership — Access rights documentation
- Access Review Summary — Periodic review evidence
Customizing the Dashboard
Widgets
The dashboard can be customized to show the metrics most important to your role:
- Security-focused — Prioritize violations, privileged access, and risk scores
- Operations-focused — Prioritize sync status, job health, and error counts
- Compliance-focused — Prioritize review progress, deadlines, and attestation rates
Refresh Interval
Dashboard data refreshes automatically. The sync status and metrics update each time a sync completes or a policy evaluation runs.
Best Practices
- Check the dashboard daily — Make it your morning routine to review the health overview
- Address critical violations immediately — Don't let critical findings linger
- Generate compliance reports monthly — Don't wait for the audit to compile evidence
- Export reports to a shared location — Keep copies outside of IdentityCenter for disaster recovery
- Use the AI Chat for ad-hoc queries — The dashboard shows summaries; use ChatHub for specific questions
Next Steps
- Using the AI Chat — Query your data in natural language
- Policies Overview — Set up compliance rules
- Access Reviews — Launch certification campaigns
