RE: Auditing role and user permission changes OOTB

Currently Liferay has audting for User and Layout entities. It would be very beneficial to have auditing also for Role and User permission changes. This would help to monitor and prevent accidental (or otherwise) permission changes. Would it be possible to get this feature in Liferay?

The audit framework is, well, a framework. The OOTB Liferay auditing support is really just an example showing how to emit auditing details at key points (message listener, service wrapper, etc).

Unfortunately each organization has different auditing needs/requirements, so it's hard to develop the "least common denominator" list that would make everyone happy.

So we provide the auditing framework (plus the examples) so you can implement whatever is necessary to satisfy your organization's auditing requirements.

Thank you for your speedy answer. It is good that there are at least these possibilities to do auditing.

For DXP subscribers in 7.4 some of this seems available out of the box. I just assigned a user to a role and looked at my audits (2024.Q1 version). Clicking the record shows me this info:

That is good, but we were hoping also permission change auditing.
