Auditing and Logging

Auditing provides you with visibility on who did what in the Requirements Management and Systems Modeling repository (or tried to do what) and when.

Auditing allows you to monitor and record selected actions performed in the Requirements Management and Systems Modeling repository. Although auditing does not directly increase your system's security, if wisely designed, it can help you achieve greater security in the following ways:
  • Uncover security holes if too many privileges were granted to some user

  • Show attempts to breach security

  • Protect the system owner against accusations of security violations and data misuse

  • Allow the system owner to meet security standards
