2. Click the group in which the configuration to be checked 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 user-role-addition event for auditing.
6. Enable "both" for the audit restriction under the outcome selection.

Review MarkLogic security and audit configurations to verify that audit records are produced when privileges/permissions/role memberships are added.

Perform the check from the MarkLogic Server Admin Interface with a user that holds administrative-level privileges.

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. Inspect the audit enabled field. A value of false means there is no auditing identifying the individual user and this is a finding.
5. If audit enabled field is true, but the user-role-addition event is not selected, this is a finding.
6. Under the Audit Restrictions - Outcome section, verify the security-access event for auditing is set to "both". If the setting is not "both", this is a finding.
