Access
Important: Although Reviews and Access Reviews provide similar functionality and share a common purpose of validating user access and permissions, they are separate and independent features within the platform.
Reviews created within the Reviews module cannot be referenced, reused, or managed through Access Reviews. Likewise, reviews created within Access Reviews are exclusive to that feature and cannot be accessed, converted, or utilized within the Reviews module.
As a result, any review activity must be created and managed within the specific feature where it is intended to be used. Data, configurations, and review instances are not shared between the two modules.

Access reviews enable users to generate reports detailing which users and groups have access to content in the following areas: Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint.
These access reports can be shared with the respective content owners, managers, or designated users, who can then review and, if necessary, update the access permissions for the content they manage (e.g., team owners).
