*Note: Additional work needs to be done around the definitions of who is allowed to do the following. Some institutions use an admin, others a database administrator.
Audit trail viewing
Admin can search for all newly created/amended/deleted records
Admin can view/export contents of all deleted records (note: deleted records to be archived)
Admin can view/export all changes to a given record by procedure
Admin can view/export all user login/logout times over a specific period
Admin can view/export system use by user (what did person x do yesterday?)
Admin can view/export system use by function (all new object records created in August)
Admin can view/export system use by function & user (all new vocab terms created by person x)
Discussion questions
Which of the above functions are appropriate for a user w/permissions vs. an admin?
Where do each of these viewings occur? Should viewing all the changes to a record be available for viewing within the record itself?
Does the system have a "flush" mechanism? How much archived data is too much (e.g. how long is every change to every field maintained?) What is realistic/expected?
