The vROps PostgreSQL DB must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are deleted.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-88315	VROM-PG-000530	SV-98965r1_rule		Medium

Description
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of individuals' and groups' privileges could go undetected. Elevated privileges give users access to information and functionality that they should not have; restricted privileges wrongly deny access to authorized users. In an SQL environment, deleting permissions is typically done via the REVOKE or DENY command.
