Replaying a session

You can play back a recorded session from the Request Workflow dialog, which can be accessed by clicking the Workflow button that appears to reviewers for completed session requests and in the Activity Center view when an access request event is selected in an activity audit log report. In addition, you can play back a recorded session by clicking the icon displayed to the left of an access request session event on the activity audit log report in the Activity Center view.

NOTE: This feature is only available for session requests that have Record Session enabled in the access request policy (Access Config tab).
