Auditing by object instance

Auditing by object instance creates audit trails for events for a particular object in the repository. You can set audits only for one object type at a time.

Aspect attributes can be audited if they are attached to SysObject, user, group, and acl objects, and any of their associated subtypes. Auditing aspect attributes requires that the related aspect type is registered for auditing.

You must have Config Audit privileges to audit object instances.
