Completing the Entra ID user certification

Introduction

According to Franklin County security policies, access accounts need to be reviewed on a quarterly basis. To achieve an accurate record of approved accounts, we have a system called Entra ID that allows designated approvers to review, approve/deny, and provide business justifications through user certifications.

Designated approvers have 15 days to complete user certifications.
