    Is it work for deltav user manager event tracking? 

  • In reply to Bibin P Babu :

    As you likely know, the DeltaV user is a construct within the DeltaV Database, while the Windows user is an operating system security object. DeltaV User manager can create both users, but in reality they are two separate items that are linked only by the user name and source (Domain or workgroup ). So tracking of changes to these is done in two separate areas. As Prashant mentions, the windows user activity is logged by the OS.

    The DeltaV Logon uses a Windows User to authenticate the request to change a DeltaV user, but it does not change the currently logged on Windows user. I'm not sure how the DeltaV Logon authentication is logged in the Windows OS logs. But DeltaV will log this in the DeltaV Event Chronicle.

    When it comes to tracking changes to the user, this would only be possible with DeltaV Version Control and Audit Trail (VCAT). IF you do not have VCAT, you cannot review changes to the DeltaV database, other than to compare DeltaV exports to previous Exports using a file compare utility. VCAT provides reports on items, including USERS and allows you to compare the current configuration to a previous version.

    DeltaV User Manager creates the DeltaV account in the DeltaV Database, and optionally creates a Windows User account in the Workgroup or Domain of the Pro Plus. Windows Users can be authenticated from other Domains, and in that case, the windows user is created/exists separately form the DeltaV system. In those cases the DeltaV User Manager will only create the DeltaV user in the database, but must match the name and specify the Domain of the windows user to allow DeltaV Logon to locate and authenticate the user successfully.
