Configuring tenant auditing
You need to configure tenant auditing by selecting the services to audit. You can select to audit:
- All service
- Audit Azure Active Directory - Audit Logs
- Azure Active Directory - Sign-ins. (Azure Active Directory - Sign-ins includes risk events.)
- Exchange Online - Administrative activity
- Exchange Online - Mailbox activity
- OneDrive for Business
- SharePoint Online
- Teams
Once selected, the Audit homepage card displays the audited services with the number of events in the last hour.
|
|
NOTE: You need to enable auditing of Office 365 mailboxes to audit Exchange Online. For more information, see Microsoft documentation. |
|
|
NOTE: You can audit multiple tenants, and each can have a distinct auditing configuration.
If a tenant is added to multiple On Demand organizations, the tenant auditing configuration is unique for each organization and events are collected and stored for each organization. |
To configure auditing
-
Log in to On Demand, and select Audit module.
-
Open the Configuration tab.
-
Select the services to audit for your tenant.
-
Click Save.
The configuration is added to Azure and events will be collected for the selected services. The configuration is checked every 5 minutes to see which activities to add to the database.
|
|
NOTE: If a service is disabled or consent is revoked, events collection stops. If auditing is re-enabled, events are collected from the last collected event (or last available event). |
Historical event collection
Historical event collection is dependent on the type of license that you are using:
|
|
NOTE: If you are currently auditing Office 365 services, any additional service added at a later date will not have historical events gathered. |
- For a trial license Azure Active Directory, Office 365, and Change Auditor historical event collection is restricted to the 24 hours before the service is added.
- When you change to a paid subscription, historical event collection is based on when the Office 365 and Azure Active Directory service is first enabled or the Change Auditor integration is configured.
- Historical events are not collected for services that were enabled during a trial subscription.
- Historical events are collected for services that were not enabled during the trial subscription period.
- If you disable a service during a trial period, change to a paid subscription, and enable the service again historical events will not be collected
See the following table for historical event collection details:
|
Office 365
- Exchange Admin activity
- Mailbox activity
- Sharepoint Online
- OneDrive for Business
- Teams
|
For services that were not enabled with a trial license, historical events are collected for past 7 days. |
|
Azure Active Directory
- Audit Logs
- Sign-ins (and risk events)
|
For services that were not enabled with a trial license, historical events are collected for either 7 or 30 past days, depending on the Azure Active Directory report retention policies. |
|
Change Auditor
- Active Directory
- Group Policy
- Logon Activity
- File System Activity
|
For services that were not enabled with a trial license, all historical events are collected. Any events collected prior to Change Auditor 7.0.0 will not be included. |
Adding a user to an organization
If you are the On Demand administrator or the owner of the On Demand Audit subscription, you can add users to an existing organization so they can access the audit data. If you are not the subscription owner or administrator, contact your On Demand administrator for access.
When you add a user to an organization, you also assign one or more roles. The role assignment determines what permission level a user has and ultimately, what tasks the user can perform. Assigning roles and setting user permissions is referred to as access control. See On Demand Audit Access Control roles.
To add a user to an organization
- Log in to On Demand, and select the required organization.
- Select Settings, expand Access Control | Users.
- Under User Name, enter the user's email address.
- Under Assigned Role, select the required role.
- Click Add User.
On Demand Audit Access Control roles
Each access control role has a specific set of permissions that determines what tasks a user assigned to the role can perform . Your Quest On Demand organization comes configured with a number of default roles. The default role permissions settings cannot be changed, but you can create custom roles with specific permission settings to align with your company policies. For more information, see Adding users to an organization in the On Demand Global Settings User Guide.
The following default roles are available to help you manage your security and compliance auditing with On Demand Audit:
- Audit Administrator role allows full access to On Demand Audit.
- Audit Operator role allows users to manage searches and create alerts.
