Hello there,

you can see the action, who did it and which user was modified like this:

index = _audit sourcetype = audittrail action=edit_user operation=edit info=granted 
| stats values(user) as who_did_it values(object) as user_changed by _time

hope it helps

Hi @vin02

Splunk only writes about changes made to user & its roles,
But it dont write what changes were made.

index=_audit "action=edit_user" user=yourusername

Thanks
