# Access Graph Map
URL: https://docs.autociso.io/console/access/graph/
Description: The Graph Map is the Graph tab of the Access page (sidebar: Access & Risk > Access, then Access Graph).

*This is the help text the console shows in the help panel on this page.*

The Graph Map is the **Graph** tab of the Access page (sidebar: Access & Risk > **Access**, then **Access Graph**). It provides an interactive network visualization of the relationships between employees and assets across your entire environment. It is the fastest way to see the [blast radius](https://docs.autociso.io/console/ciso-reports/access-concentration/) of a single identity or asset.

### Reading the Graph
- **Employee nodes** are color-coded by status (active, onboarding or dormant, terminated or stale).
- **Asset nodes** are color-coded by criticality (critical, high-risk, normal).
- **Edges** represent access relationships and are colored by type (normal access, ownership, management) and risk level. Open **Legend** for the full key.

### Filters
- **Dormant**: Show only inactive or unverified access links.
- **Stale**: Show access not [re-certified in 90+ days](https://docs.autociso.io/console/iso/access-reviews/).
- **Elevated**: Highlight privileged or admin-level connections.
- **Terminated**: Surface [access still held by former employees](https://docs.autociso.io/console/ciso-reports/offboarding-violations/).
- **Critical Assets**: Focus the graph on your most sensitive resources.
- Pick specific **Employees**, **Department**, **Assets** or **Tags** from the drop-downs; **Clear** resets them.

### Insights
Click **Insights** to open **Security Insights**: Blast Radius (sole owners of critical or high assets), Privilege Paths, Dormant Risk Clusters, Over-privileged employees, [Orphaned Assets](https://docs.autociso.io/console/directory/assets/) and Lateral Movement Risk. Click a row to highlight the matching nodes on the graph.

### Layout Options
- **Concentric**: Groups nodes by type, useful for a clean overview.
- **Hierarchical**: Shows a top-down access tree from assets to users.
- **Force**: Physics-based layout that naturally clusters heavily connected nodes.

Use **Fit to screen** to reset the zoom and **Re-run layout** to rearrange the nodes.

### Sidebar
Click any node to see its full profile. For an employee: email, department, job title, identity type and the assets they can access with role and last-seen date. For an asset: type, tags, owner and the identities that have access, with risk score.
