Security History

Security History

Critical records within your database may get modified or deleted from time to time.

With inclusion of a Security History, DataSight Administrator has a solution for monitoring and recording changes to a database, such as when a user or group and their permissions are created, modified or deleted.

Using Security History, if you click the Detail  icon for a logged event, a window detailing the activity including any related parameters is displayed in the ‘'Process Log Details’ window. This can be useful when attempting to recover lost or accidentally deleted data, as full details of the data are retained, and these can be copied to the clipboard.

 

View Security History

  1. With the User window open, select History.

                The Processing Information window for the all Security Modifications to users, groups and/or their permissions will be shown.

                Records summarise different Process Types and Actions that have been carried out for records in the respective User or Group.

  1. Click to view the Details recorded for that process.
  2. Click Close to return to the User

Note

The history of updates to the Security records of users, groups and/or permissions is only available in DataSight Version 3.4 and above.
