We’re thrilled to announce a much-anticipated improvement to the My Access Page – Search functionality!
Problem
With the introduction of self-revocation through the My Access page, users have needed more controls to help them locate and manage their access. Until now, they were presented with lists of their access but lacked tools to efficiently sift through them when those lists were long.
Solution
Users can now search their own access by access item name or source name. The search uses a “contains” method, meaning any text match within either name will appear in the results. It filters displayed entries across all tabs, with each tab showing the number of matching items it contains—helping users quickly find the access they’re looking for.
The ability to search within My Access is a huge usability win. Searching by both access item and source name will definitely help end users navigate through large access list more efficiently.
A suggestion that could further elevate this feature:
Consider adding advanced filters: -
Beyond keyword search, adding optional filter - such as revocable true/false, source, access item type, or sort by recently added are some I can think of.
Overall this update is a step forward and aligns perfectly with the growing expectations for self-service. Looking forward to its rollout in production next week!
Thanks again for continuing to evolve the user experience
That is in our backlog to address. At this time, the APIs that populate the admin page are different from the ones that populate My Access, so the two pages are not 1-for-1 enhancements. But we do understand that adding filtering/search to the admin page would also be helpful for admins/revokers who need to locate and revoke access.
thankyou for your speedy response much appreciated - is there anywhere I can track this feature update? presumably does not need to be raised as an idea and voted on to get it implemented?
Other than that, I’m not sure there is a good place for you to track it. I don’t have an ETA for the work at the moment, but it is definitely a known need.
This still doesn`t support ability to export the data. So that business user can understand which access are part of Role and which one Out of the role.
Idea GOV-I-4485
By RSVP’ing to this event you will be reminded of this release prior.
