How to Set a Reviewer for an App

Who can use this feature

  • Supported on Foundation, Growth, and Scale plans

The Reviewer for an application is the Scrut user responsible for reviewing and overseeing that app. Assigning a Reviewer in the Managed tab pre-fills that person as the reviewer when a new access review is created for the application.

How to Assign a Reviewer

1: When Moving an App to Managed

You can set a Reviewer as part of the workflow when moving an application from Discovered or Restricted to Managed.

See How to Manage Discovered Applications for the full steps.

2: Assign or Update a Reviewer in the Managed Tab

  1. Navigate to Access Review → Applications → Managed.

  2. Click the application name to open its detailed view.

  3. Click the Reviewer field in the header. A dropdown appears listing all Scrut contributors by name and email.

  4. Select the user you want to assign.

The selected user will be pre-filled as the reviewer the next time an access review is created for this application.

Note: Changing the Reviewer does not affect any access review already in progress. The change applies to future reviews only.

3: Automatically via Access Review completion

When an access review for a Discovered or Restricted SaaS app is completed, the app moves to Managed, and the reviewer assigned in the review is automatically saved as the app Reviewer.
