Monitor Role Changes in _Audit Trail

Audit:[timestamp=10-29-2017 15:55:70.674, user=bob@bob.com, action=edit_user, info=granted object="jerry@jerry.com" operation=edit][n/a]

Is there anyway to actually see the edits that Bob made to Jerry's user account. Specifically what roles were added or removed.

Tried to use,

| rest /services/authentication/current-context splunk_server=local

but that only provides the roles that my current account has. Any help would be appreciated/

Seems odd to me, too, that that the event in the audit index do not describe the nature of the role change.
