About auditing

The Empirica Signal Auditing feature tracks user activity that occurs in the application. Auditing captures detailed information about user actions, such as data run creation, that provides you with an easily accessible, historical account of user activity occurring in the following signal categories:

• Authentication
• Errors
• Administration
• Login Groups
• Users
• Aliases
• Case Series, Queries
• Configurations
• Data Mining Runs
• Reports
• Saved Lists
• View Results
• Drug Profiles
• Signals
• Signal Administration
• Signal Reviewer
• Topics
• Topic Administration

Note: Auditing occurs automatically. You do not need to install or enable the auditing feature.

An administrator can access audited user activity by viewing the User Activity Audit Trail and use the information to:

• Trace actions by one or more users over time.
• Monitor configuration modifications.
• Monitor permission or authentication issues.
• Monitor administration changes.
• Troubleshoot errors.
• Identify suspicious activity or security incidents.
• Identify any violations in policies and procedures.

Using the User Activity Audit Trail, you can better enforce your company's security policy and assist users with errors or issues.

The application maintains audited user activity indefinitely. You cannot modify or delete user activity through Empirica Signal.
