Auditing

For auditing and compliance purposes, UPA keeps a history of events performed throughout the UPA system for each user and for each policy.  This provides auditors and administrators the five critical requirements:

1. Who made the changes?
2. What were the changes?
3. When were these changes made?
4. Where were they made?
5. Why were the changes made?

• User Login Time/Date
