An audit policy ensures that only the users or groups that are specified in the purge policy can delete an audit record. If an unauthorized user or group attempts to delete the audit record, Content Server throws an error message. If there are multiple policies for same user, the policy with the highest permissions is in effect.

Audit policies specify which user, group, or role can purge audit trails. You must be an Install Owner to access and manage audit policies. Other users can only view the list of audit policies.

Audit policies are managed on the Audit Policies page. Select Administration > Audit Management to display the Audit Management page, then click the Audit Policies link to display the Audit Policies page. Table 6.4 describes the information on the Audit Policies page.

For information about creating or modifying an audit policy, refer to Creating, modifying, or deleting an audit policy.
