Audit Security Group Management

Audit Security Group Management determines whether the operating system generates audit events when specific security group management tasks are performed.

Event volume: Low.

This subcategory allows you to audit events generated by changes to security groups such as the following:

  • Security group is created, changed, or deleted.

  • Member is added or removed from a security group.

  • Group type is changed.

Computer Type General Success General Failure Stronger Success Stronger Failure Comments
Domain Controller Yes No Yes No We recommend Success auditing of security groups, to see new group creation events, changes and deletion of critical groups. Also you will get information about new members of security groups, when a member was removed from a group and when security group membership was enumerated.
This subcategory doesn’t have Failure events, so there is no recommendation to enable Failure auditing for this subcategory.
