Archiving Findings

When the access identified in the finding is intended, you can archive the finding. For example, for an external access finding, the IAM policy contains public permissions required by workflows, or for an unused access finding, an unused access key may still be necessary. After a finding is archived, the finding status changes from Active to Archived and the finding is removed from the active findings list. Archived findings are not deleted. You can unarchive them at any time.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the new IAM console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Access Analysis > External Access, Best Practice Compliance, or Unused Access.
  3. In the upper left corner of the displayed page, select a target analyzer from the drop-down list.
  4. Locate the target finding and click the finding ID to view its details. If the external access is intended, you can archive the finding.
  5. In the Access Intended area, click Archive.
