Summary of evidence scope
Can supportDoes not establish
  • Accounts and attributes present in the selected identity-provider scope at export time
  • System-recorded account status or assignments included in the export
  • That all applications use the identity provider
  • That access was reviewed or approved
  • That the configuration remained unchanged

What it is

A machine-generated snapshot of users, account state, groups, roles or application assignments from a central identity system, with the query scope and capture time preserved.

What it can prove

It can establish what the identity provider recorded at a particular time and supply the population for an access review or offboarding reconciliation.

What it cannot prove

It does not show that assignments were appropriate, reviewed or complete across systems outside central identity.

Common request situations

Access reviews, offboarding samples, privileged-access questions and security questionnaires.

Likely owner and source system

IT or security; identity provider or directory service.

Freshness considerations

Match the capture date to the period or event requested. There is no universal freshness period; explain material changes since capture.

Stronger evidence and weaker substitutes

A signed or reproducible export reconciled to application and worker populations is stronger. An untimestamped screenshot or hand-built list is weaker.

Common rejection or follow-up reasons

Missing scope, unclear fields, omitted local accounts, unexplained service accounts or inability to reconcile identifiers.

Redaction and confidentiality

Minimise personal data and never expose credentials, tokens, recovery data or unnecessary group names.

Use this with a completed review record when the claim concerns review, not merely current configuration. Reviewed 13 July 2026.
