Recurring Certifications

How Zluri handles recurring access certifications

While creating access certifications, you can set them to recur at fixed intervals such as monthly, quarterly, or custom durations up to 12 months. This article explains how Zluri handles these recurring certifications.

Zluri uses the Review start date of the first certification as a reference point for future schedules. Intervals between review and remediation end dates stay consistent.

Say a certification has the following schedule:

  • Review start date: 01 Jan 2025
  • Review end date: 15 Jan 2025 (14 days from review start)
  • Remediation end date: 20 Jan 2025 (5 days from review end)

The upcoming instances will follow this schedule:

InstanceReview start dateReview end dateRemediation end date
101 Jan 202515 Jan 202520 Jan 2025
201 Feb 202515 Feb 202520 Feb 2025
301 Mar 202515 Mar 202520 Mar 2025
401 Apr 202515 Apr 202520 Apr 2025
501 May 202515 May 202520 May 2025

Accounting for month-end dates

There might be cases where the Review start date doesn’t exist in the following month, (for example, if you choose 31 January, which doesn’t exist in shorter months like February and April).

Assume a certification with the following schedule:

  • Review start date: 31 Jan 2025
  • Review end date: 15 Feb 2025 (15 days from review start)
  • Remediation end date: 20 Feb 2025 (5 days from review end)

Here, Zluri will automatically adjust the start date to the last day of that month (28 February or 30 April). Everything else stays identical:
