Governance administration
The Governance Administration view is a menu item on the Attestation menu. You can execute various actions to do with the attestation policies you manage, depending on which entitlements you have been assigned. These actions can be called up over tiles.
Managers or others responsible for compliance can use attestation policies to run the following tasks.
- Authorize access
- Set up permissions
Attestations start with attestation policies. You use these policies to specify which objects are designated for attestation and when and how often they are run.
You can get a high level overview of the attestations in your organization in the Attestation dashboard. For more information, see What statistics are available?.
