Review the application documentation and interview the application administrator. Identify where the application logs are stored. Identify application functionality that provides privilege or permission settings to security objects within the application. This can be an application function that assigns privileges to an application object or data element. Authenticate to the application as a regular user. Using application functionality, attempt to modify the security object within the application. Perform two attempts, one successfully and one unsuccessfully. Review the log data and ensure the modification events both successful and unsuccessful are logged. If the application does not generate an audit record when successful and unsuccessful attempts to modify security objects occur, this is a finding.
