Overview
Security Auditor is an Ignition Gateway module that helps administrators review selected Gateway activity, monitor configured privileged access, prepare audit reports, and apply retention to selected audit records.
The module works within an Ignition Gateway environment. It provides Gateway pages for configuration and reporting, then records relevant activity as it occurs. It is designed to supplement existing Ignition administration and security practices, not replace them.
What problem it solves
Gateway administrators can need a consolidated view of user/session activity, project changes, and privileged-role assignments. Security Auditor provides a module-local way to observe this information, review it through the Gateway interface, and use it in operational reporting.
It also provides administrator-configured responses when a user holds a monitored privileged role without being included in the approved user list.
