Setting up audit templates

Access Manager provides a comprehensive set of variables you can use in your HTML and JSON audit templates.

Access Manager uses the Handlebars language to allow you to insert variables into templates, and even perform conditional rendering of your template, based on the contents of the audit data.

HTML example

In this simple example, we can see reference to the Response.Target attribute, and some conditional rendering based on the value of Response.IsSuccess.

<html>
<div>
    <p>Access to {{Response.Target}} was {{#if Response.IsSuccess}}granted{{else}}denied{{/if}} for {{user.FullyQualifiedName}}</p>
</div>
</html>

JSON example

In this example, we can see examples of conditional rendering of a Microsoft Teams message card, inside the summary and title elements, as well as the conditional addition of the computer section.

{
  "@type": "MessageCard",
  "@context": "http://schema.org/extensions",
  "summary": "{{#if Response.IsSuccess}}✅ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was granted{{else}}❌ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was denied{{/if}}",
  "title": "{{#if Response.IsSuccess}}✅ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was granted{{else}}❌ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was denied{{/if}}",
  "sections": [
    {
      "text": "{{Response.message}}"
    },
    {
      "title": "Details",
      "facts": [
        {
          "name": "Requested access",
          "value": "{{Response.AccessTypeDescription}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "Name",
          "value": "{{user.DisplayName}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "User name",
          "value": "{{user.FullyQualifiedName}}"
        },
        {{#if Computer}}
        {
          "name": "Computer",
          "value": "{{computer.FullyQualifiedName}}"
        },
        {{/if}}
        {{#if Response.IsSuccess}}
        {
          "name": "Access expiry",
          "value": "{{Response.AccessExpiryDate}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "Matched rule",
          "value": "{{Response.MatchedRuleDescription}}"
        },
        {{/if}}
        {
          "name": "Request reason",
          "value": "{{Request.Reason}}"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
