Security logs - What is Security Logs in event viewer

What is Security Logs in event viewer


People need to access various objects in a computer like printers, files or folders and many more. When this access is made on servers you need some mechanism to track your users access on the server. By password you can only authenticate a user but you might need to authorize a user to perform certain tasks in a computer or your server.What if the user is accessing more than what you are giving him.


That's why you need some mechanism to track that access and that's done by security logs. By default security logs are enable on your system, domain controller or you domain. But still you have to enable security logging of multiple objects in a computer via group policy.
