# Certification reporting

OpenIAM provides three types of certification reports, each serving a different purpose in the audit lifecycle.

## Scope report

The scope report shows the **initial state** of the certification — which users are included, what access is being reviewed, and who will perform the review.

This report is generated automatically in the background when an administrator initiates a new campaign. It can be downloaded from:

* **Webconsole:** the **Report** tab of the certification screen.
* **SelfService:** the **Report** tab, accessible to campaign managers and global UAR managers.

To check for any warning messages during scope report generation, run the `EXECUTE_ACCESS_CERTIFICATION` command.

## Current state report

The current state report shows the **live status** of a running access certification at the moment it is generated. It is delivered to the administrator's mailbox.

To generate it: go to **Report → ACCESS\_CERTIFICATION\_REPORT**.

## Results report

The results report shows the **final outcome** of a completed certification campaign.

This report is generated automatically by the **Access Certification reporting** batch task, which runs nightly and checks for completed campaigns that do not yet have a results report. When found, it generates the report and sends it to each campaign manager by email.

This process is captured in the audit system under the `ACCESS_CERTIFICATION_AUTO_REPORTING` action. It can also be triggered manually.

{% hint style="info" %}
The campaign must be **completed or expired** before the results report is available. If the campaign is still in progress, a validation message will indicate that no report is available yet.
{% endhint %}
