You can review the details of a framework using the Audit Manager console, the Audit Manager API, or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). 

## Prerequisites
<a name="review-frameworks-prerequisites"></a>

Make sure your IAM identity has appropriate permissions to view frameworks in AWS Audit Manager. Two suggested policies that grant these permissions are [AWSAuditManagerAdministratorAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSAuditManagerAdministratorAccess.html) and [Allow users management access to AWS Audit Manager](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md#management-access).

1. Choose the **Standard frameworks** tab or the **Custom frameworks** tab to browse the available frameworks.

1. Choose the name of the framework to open it.

1. Review the framework details using the following information as reference.

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

**To view framework details in the AWS CLI**

1. To identify the framework that you want to review, run the [list-assessment-frameworks](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/auditmanager/list-assessment-frameworks.html) command and specify a `--framework-type`. Either, you can retrieve a list of standard frameworks. Or, you can retrieve a list of custom frameworks.

   In the following example, replace the *placeholder text* with either `Custom` or `Standard`.

   ```
    aws auditmanager list-assessment-frameworks --framework-type Custom/Standard
   ```

   The response returns a list of frameworks. Find the framework that you want to review, and take note of the framework ID and Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

1. To get the framework details, run the [get-assessment-framework](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/auditmanager/get-assessment-framework.html) command and specify the `--framework-id`.

   In the following example, replace the *placeholder text* with your own information.

   ```
   aws auditmanager get-assessment-framework --framework-id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111
   ```
**Tip**  
The framework details are returned in JSON format. To understand this data, see [get-assessment-framework Output](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/auditmanager/get-assessment-framework.html#output) in the *AWS CLI Command Reference*.

1. To see the tags for a framework, use the [list-tags-for-resource](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/auditmanager/list-tags-for-resource.html) command and specify the `--resource-arn` for the framework.

   In the following example, replace the *placeholder text* with your own information:

   ```
   aws auditmanager list-tags-for-resource --resource-arn arn:aws:auditmanager:us-east-1:111122223333:assessmentFramework/a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111
   ```

#### [ Audit Manager API ]

**To view framework details using the API**

1. To identify the framework that you want to review, use the [ListAssessmentFrameworks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_ListAssessmentFrameworks.html) operation and specify a [frameworkType](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_ListAssessmentFrameworks.html#auditmanager-ListAssessmentFrameworks-request-frameworkType). Either, you can return a list of standard frameworks. Or, you can return a list of custom frameworks. 

   From the response, find the framework that you want to review and note the framework ID and Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

1. To get the framework details, use the [GetAssessmentFramework](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_GetAssessmentFramework.html) operation. In the request, specify the [frameworkId](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_GetAssessmentFramework.html#auditmanager-GetAssessmentFramework-request-frameworkId) that you got from step 1.
**Tip**  
The framework details are returned in JSON format. To understand this data, see [GetAssessmentFramework Response Elements](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_GetAssessmentFramework.html#API_GetAssessmentFramework_ResponseElements) in the *AWS Audit Manager API Reference*.

1. To see tags for the framework, use the [ListTagsForResource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_ListTagsForResource.html) operation. In the request, specify the framework [resourceArn](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_ListTagsForResource.html#auditmanager-ListTagsForResource-request-resourceArn) that you got from step 1.
