Understand the work

Before the checklist

What this work is really for

Access tends to accumulate because granting it is urgent and removing it is easy to postpone. A routine administrative review helps the practice notice old accounts, unclear owners, and privileges nobody can explain.

If you are new to ownership

Build the habit while the list is short. Record the system, the account owner, the business reason for access, and the next review date—never the password itself.

If you already run a practice

Use this to reconcile what the vendor console shows with who actually works in the practice and what each role currently needs. Unknown access should become a named follow-up, not an assumption.

Useful finished resultA dated access register with each active account confirmed, unnecessary access assigned for removal, unknowns routed to an owner, and no credentials or client information copied into the notes.

Start here

Immediate actions

Get oriented before doing the work.

Review ownership, account need, and role fit separately.
Never copy passwords, recovery codes, or client information into the worksheet.
Record uncertainty and assign follow-up instead of awarding a security score.

Make sure this fits

Use this for a generic administrative review of workforce accounts and roles in systems the practice already uses.

Pause when

The task requires vulnerability testing, access to credentials, investigation of an incident, or a legal or compliance conclusion.

Gather before you begin

A current system list
An accountable owner for the review
A safe place for non-sensitive administrative notes

Expected output

A dated account-and-role review with owners, exceptions, and follow-up dates

Why owners make time for this

Accounts can remain active after roles change, while shared or unowned access makes ordinary administration and incident response harder.

Finish well

Adapt, record, review

Leave a useful trail for the next person.

If your situation is different

A solo practice may combine owner roles but should still record who made each decision and when.

What good looks like

Every in-scope system has an owner
Every listed account has a documented role decision or open question
No passwords, tokens, recovery codes, client data, or sensitive employee details are recorded
Exceptions and the next review have owners and dates

Common mistakes

Treating an account-list review as proof that permissions are technically correct or that the system is compliant.

Sources and review

See the evidence boundary.

Scope: This administrative checklist does not test security controls or determine legal, privacy, employment, licensing, or compliance status.

Approved claims and boundaries

Does an administrative access review prove that a system is secure or compliant?

No. It can identify accounts, roles, owners, and follow-up work, but it does not test technical controls or establish legal, privacy, security, or compliance status.

Applies to: Generic administrative review of workforce access without recording passwords, secrets, client details, or sensitive employee information.

Technical testing and regulated conclusions require the appropriate qualified reviewers.
