Analyze security configuration history
Application task

In the Security and compliance studio, you can audit the security configuration in several ways:
  • Global security history - Shows all security configuration change events on all users, all security roles, duties, privileges, segregation of duties, stand-ins, and across all legal entities.
  • User security history - Shows all security configuration change events on the selected user across all legal entities.
  • Role security history - Shows all security configuration change events on the selected role across all legal entities.
