Looking into the possibility of capturing user actions against roles and groups. Would like to know which user added individuals to roles in which containers. We can create a table in the database or just a flat file. Database would allow for easier filtering and searching.

You can capture changes to Groups and Roles in the Security Audit Reporting, but you have to turn them on first.

In <WT_HOME>/conf/auditing/configAudit.xml:

<ConfigEntry class="wt.org.WTGroup" enabled="true">

And 'false' to 'true' for wt.team.RolePrincipalMap:

<ConfigEntry class="wt.team.RolePrincipalMap" enabled="true">
