# How Self-Review Configurations Work in Zluri

During access certification setup, it’s possible that a user might get assigned to review their own access. Zluri provides flexible self-review configuration options to handle such scenarios in line with your organization’s policies.

## When Does Self-Review Occur?

Self-review scenarios can arise when the same user is both the **reviewer** and the **subject of the review**. This can happen due to role-based or user-based assignments.

**Common examples:**

* An **App Owner** is assigned to review an application they own *and* have access to
* A **Department Head** is assigned to review group memberships while also being a member of that group
* A user is assigned to review access to an application they use

## Self-Review Configuration Options

While creating a certification, Zluri allows admins to define how self-review scenarios are handled. Two options are available:

### Allow Self-Review

Choose this option if your organization’s policies **permit** users to review their own access.

* No reassignment is triggered.
* The user can approve, modify, or revoke their own access during the review.

### Auto Reassign

Select this option if your organization’s policies **do not allow** self-review.

Zluri will automatically reassign the review task based on your selected fallback path. You can choose to reassign to:

### a. Role

Choose from available roles such as:

* Reporting Manager
* Department Head
* App Owner, App IT Owner, App Finance Owner (if applications are being reviewed)
* Fallback Reviewer
* Certification Owner

### b. User

Manually select a named user who should handle all self-review reassignment cases.

## Reassignment

When **Auto Reassign** is selected, Zluri follows a layered fallback logic to ensure every record has a valid reviewer:

1. **Primary Reviewer Check**
   * Zluri first checks if the primary reviewer (role/user) is active and assigned.
2. **Fallback Reviewer Check**
   * If the primary reviewer is not available, Zluri checks for a fallback reviewer.
3. **Self-Review Conflict Check**
   * If the reviewer assigned through either the primary or fallback configuration is the same user as the one being reviewed, Zluri checks for the configured reassignment role or user.
4. **Auto-Reassignment Execution**
   * Zluri checks if the auto-reassign target (role or user) is valid and active.
   * If valid, the review is reassigned accordingly.
5. **Final Fallback: Certification Owner**
   * If no reassignment target is resolvable (e.g., role unconfigured or user deactivated), Zluri assigns the record to the Certification Owner.
