Fix Recommendation

Change the MarkLogic security and audit configurations to ensure audit records are produced when privileges/permissions/role memberships are retrieved, if they are required by the system documentation or organizational policies.

1. Click the Groups icon.
2. Click the group in which the configuration to check resides (e.g., Default).
3. Click the Auditing icon on the left tree menu.
4. Set the audit enabled field to true.
5. Enable the security-access audit event.
6. Enable "both" under the outcome setting in the audit restrictions section.
