Archiving findings - AWS Identity and Access Management

Archiving findings

When you get a finding for access to a resource that is intentional, you can archive the findings. For example, an external access finding for an IAM role that is used by multiple users for approved workflows or an unused access finding for an access key that may still be necessary. When you archive a finding, it is cleared from active findings list. Archived findings aren't deleted. You can filter the Findings page to display your archived findings, and unarchive them at any time.

To archive findings from the Findings page
  1. Select the check box next to one or more findings to archive.

  2. Choose Actions and then choose Archive.

    A confirmation is displayed at the top of the screen.

To archive findings from the Findings Details page
  1. Choose the Finding ID for the finding to archive.

  2. Choose Archive.

    A confirmation is displayed at the top of the screen.

To unarchive findings, repeat the preceding steps, but choose Unarchive instead of Archive. When you unarchive a finding, the status is set to Active.
