Configuring Access Auditing for User Groups

You can require members of a user group to enter the reason why they are accessing the node before access is permitted. A dialog will appear to all users in the user groups you select. Users must enter the reason for access before the node connection is made. This feature applies to all types of access with all interface types, including power control.

The reasons for access are logged in the Audit Trail and in the Node Profile's Auditing tab.

• To configure access auditing for user groups:

1. Choose Users > Node Auditing.
2. Select the Require Users to Enter Access Information When Connecting to a Node checkbox.
3. In the Message to Users field, enter a message that users will see when attempting to access a node. A default message is provided. 256 character maximum.
4. Move the user groups to enable access auditing for the group into the Selected list by clicking the arrow buttons. Use Ctrl+click to select multiple items.

   Tip: Type the name of a user group in the Find field to highlight it in the list. Type * after a partial name to highlight all similar names in the list.

   Click the column headers to sort the lists alphabetically.

5. Click Update.
