ADAudit Plus automatically configures object-level auditing for both Self-managed and AWS Managed Microsoft AD if you have assigned sufficient privileges for the user configured under domain settings. Otherwise, you can manually configure object-level auditing by following the steps below:
Right-click the share folder that you want to audit, select Properties, and then click the Security tab > Select Advanced > click the Auditing tab > For the Everyone group, add the following entries:
| To audit | Principal | Type | Access | Applies To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| File/folder changes | Everyone | Success, Failure |
| This Folder, sub folders, and files |
| Folder permission and owner changes | Everyone | Success, Failure |
| This folder and sub folders |
| File read | Everyone | Success, Failure | List folder / Read data | Files only |
| Folder read failure | Everyone | Failure | List folder / Read data | This folder and sub folders |
